Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
About our BBQ catering in Heath End

In a small place like Heath End, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest.
