The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. At midsummer, it’s light in Farthing Green until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Give us a contact number for the day

How our BBQ catering works in Farthing Green
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and sports clubs and team events, serving beef burgers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Near Farthing Green, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
