How our BBQ catering works in Holmbury St Mary
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For birthdays and milestone parties and summer parties in the garden, we can cook pulled pork, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
Near Holmbury St Mary, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
