BBQ catering for your event in Hale Green
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are often asked to cater street parties and summer staff days, with sausages, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Hale Green, 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 plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

For event organisers in Hale Green
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
The process
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. A summer barbecue in Hale Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
