Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
How our BBQ catering works in Headley
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. For leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, chicken skewers and beef brisket and more.
Country barbecues near Headley are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
