BBQ catering for your event in Headley
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Headley, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Whether it is community fun days and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef burgers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Headley makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Why choose BBQ catering in Headley?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from

About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, and salads add freshness.
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, in a roll or with sides.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Headley. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can you do halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. In Headley, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
