How our BBQ catering works in Headley Down
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef brisket.
For a barbecue in Headley Down, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
