BBQ catering in Highstreet, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. For school fairs and summer fêtes and fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Highstreet, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Evening barbecues in Highstreet need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Organising for someone else?
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.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
