About our BBQ catering in Hound Green
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Hound Green, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are sausages, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and retirement do’s.
In a small place like Hound Green, 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’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Hound Green hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Hot food straight off the grill

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A spot well clear of buildings

Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
What happens after service?

What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Hound Green is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
