BBQ catering for your event in Harbridge
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and leaving parties, with beef burgers, beef brisket and sausages.
Near Harbridge, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- 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.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down 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, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
