BBQ catering in Hitchambury, cooked on site

Why choose BBQ catering in Hitchambury?
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Six meats to choose from
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our staff serve and clear
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hitchambury
How far is Hitchambury from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hitchambury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch, especially at a wedding or work event.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
