BBQ catering for your event in Idbury
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve sausages, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and team events and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Country barbecues near Idbury are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
