Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
