How our BBQ catering works in Graffham

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
For event organisers in Graffham
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Sunset in Graffham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
