About our BBQ catering in Gomshall
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. We’re often asked to cater fundraising barbecues and summer staff days, serving sausages, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
Near Gomshall, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- BBQ ribs
- Beef burgers

Why choose BBQ catering in Gomshall?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
