How our BBQ catering works in Hillyfields
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. We serve beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for team days and staff summer parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
For a barbecue in Hillyfields, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
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. For an evening barbecue in Hillyfields, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food straight off the grill

Hillyfields: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
- Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
- Six barbecue meats to choose from
