BBQ catering in Hurtmore, cooked on site
In Hurtmore, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Whether it’s fundraising days and club open days, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, sausages and beef brisket and more.
Country barbecues near Hurtmore 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.
