BBQ catering in Hook, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Hook: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Popular choices include coleslaw, beef burgers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports clubs and team events and charity fundraisers.
Barbecues around Hook are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
For event organisers in Hook
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What affects the price in Hook
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
