BBQ catering in Frostlane
BBQ catering for your event in Frostlane
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Frostlane: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and family celebrations, with BBQ ribs, beef brisket and coleslaw.
In a small place like Frostlane, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Why choose BBQ catering in Frostlane?
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. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Autumn and winter barbecues in Frostlane get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose the menu a week or so before
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
