About our BBQ catering in Hillesden
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Popular choices include chicken skewers, beef brisket and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and sports clubs and team events.
A barbecue in the countryside near Hillesden makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. At midsummer, it is light in Hillesden until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
