BBQ catering in Heaverham, served hot
Some hosts in Heaverham pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Whether it is work barbecues and garden parties, we can cook pulled pork, sausages and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Heaverham, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Hot food straight off the grill
- No surprises: everything in writing
