About our BBQ catering in Flemings
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. We are frequently asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and work barbecues, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and coleslaw.
Near Flemings, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
What affects the price in Flemings
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Flemings
Is Flemings close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Flemings?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Flemings, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- We serve as your guests come up.
