How our BBQ catering works in High Brooms
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. On the menu are pulled pork, beef brisket and sausages, and typical bookings are for summer staff days and leaving parties.
Around High Brooms, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements

- The address or postcode

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Is barbecued chicken safe?

What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in High Brooms get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
