About our BBQ catering in Freeland
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. Whether it’s community fun days and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Freeland makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Add a hog roast alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
