About our BBQ catering in Hill Grove
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve BBQ ribs, beef burgers and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater evening wedding food and fundraising days.
Near Hill Grove, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
