How our BBQ catering works in Hammer Bottom
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Hammer Bottom, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Popular choices include coleslaw, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for work barbecues and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
In a small place like Hammer Bottom, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
