How our BBQ catering works in Horsebridge
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We serve BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Horsebridge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- A clear way in from where we park

What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. At midsummer, it’s light in Horsebridge until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

Do you need anything from us?

Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
