How our BBQ catering works in Great Hampden
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it is retirement do’s and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and chicken skewers and more.
In a small place like Great Hampden, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away.

After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
