BBQ catering in Henhurst, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Popular choices include beef brisket, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we’re often booked for engagement and anniversary parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
A barbecue in the countryside near Henhurst makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Henhurst: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Henhurst?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Henhurst from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with 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. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

For event organisers in Henhurst
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event

Where the barbecue can go in Henhurst
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
