BBQ catering in Hensting, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Hensting, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and sports clubs and team events, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, sausages and beef burgers for your guests.
Country barbecues near Hensting are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Hensting until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Think about where the smoke will drift

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. 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, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
