BBQ catering in Fingest, served hot
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. We serve coleslaw, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs, and we’re frequently booked for neighbourhood parties and club open days.
In a small place like Fingest, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
