BBQ catering for Heath End
BBQ catering in Heath End, cooked on site
Hosting a barbecue normally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are pulled pork, sausages and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for cricket, football and rugby club days and big birthday parties.
Near Heath End, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
The process
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. At midsummer, it is light in Heath End until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Request gluten-free rolls
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Timed around your day
- Hot food straight off the grill
