About our BBQ catering in Goose Green
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. We are often asked to cater community fun days and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving halloumi skewers, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Goose Green makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. 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 book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
See our pricing or our barbecue menu ideas.

What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:

How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. In Goose Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
