BBQ catering in Haslar, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. For club open days and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Haslar makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
