BBQ catering for your event in Heath Common
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. We’ll find the right spot at your venue in Heath Common. On the menu are beef brisket, halloumi skewers and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and fundraising days.
In a small place like Heath Common, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Why choose BBQ catering in Heath Common?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
