BBQ catering for Golden Cross
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events

How our BBQ catering works in Golden Cross
For bigger events in Golden Cross, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Whether it’s summer staff days and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Golden Cross are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

FAQs for Golden Cross
Is Golden Cross close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Golden Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is a barbecue good for children?

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
