BBQ catering in Hook Common, cooked on site
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. We serve sausages, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer parties in the garden and neighbourhood parties.
Country barbecues near Hook Common are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
