BBQ catering in Hightown
How our BBQ catering works in Hightown
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We are often asked to cater charity fundraisers and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, serving halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
Country barbecues near Hightown are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Do you come out to small places like Hightown?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
