BBQ catering in Horton, cooked on site
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it’s cricket, football and rugby club days and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
Country barbecues near Horton are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
