Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
About our BBQ catering in Hill Head
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. On the menu are halloumi skewers, sausages and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Hill Head, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
