BBQ catering for your event in Gidea Park
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are coleslaw, beef burgers and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and evening wedding food.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- No surprises: everything in writing
