BBQ catering in Harestock
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
About our BBQ catering in Harestock
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Harestock: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include family celebrations and summer parties in the garden, with halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
Around Harestock, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you won’t spend it cooking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the venue or landowner

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening barbecue in Harestock, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
