BBQ catering for your event in Halling
Some hosts in Halling pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We’re often asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving sausages, halloumi skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Halling, 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 will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Halling questions
Can you do a barbecue in Holborough Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Halling?
Halling station, in Halling itself.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
