How our BBQ catering works in Halfway Street
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Whether it’s 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, beef brisket and pulled pork and more.
Country barbecues near Halfway Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Halfway Street, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
