How our BBQ catering works in Kimpton
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. On the menu are coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for street parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Near Kimpton, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it where possible.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
