About our BBQ catering in Greatham
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and work barbecues.
Near Greatham, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why choose BBQ catering in Greatham?

Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Six meats to choose from
- Planned to your running order

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
