BBQ catering for your event in Hurst Green
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We are frequently asked to cater sports clubs and team events and back-garden get-togethers, serving BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Hurst Green, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
