About our BBQ catering in Forge Wood
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We serve coleslaw, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for fundraising barbecues and school fairs and summer fêtes.
Barbecues around Forge Wood are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A summer barbecue in Forge Wood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
