BBQ catering in Green Cross, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Whether it is summer parties in the garden and reunions and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef brisket and beef burgers for your guests.
Near Green Cross, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Autumn and winter barbecues in Green Cross get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Planned to your running order
- A full barbecue menu
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
