BBQ catering in Fir Toll, cooked on site
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We serve sausages, halloumi skewers and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and engagement and anniversary parties.
Country barbecues near Fir Toll are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. In Fir Toll, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
