Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
About our BBQ catering in High Halstow
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, with BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near High Halstow makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in High Halstow need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
