How our BBQ catering works in Five Oak Green
For bigger events in Five Oak Green, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. For birthdays and milestone parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, beef brisket and coleslaw.
Country barbecues near Five Oak Green are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
