If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How our BBQ catering works in Grateley
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For community fun days and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Grateley, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Grateley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.

Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
