How our BBQ catering works in Hillborough
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and street parties, serving sausages, beef brisket and coleslaw.
For a barbecue in Hillborough, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, in a roll or with sides.
