About our BBQ catering in Knightwood
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve pulled pork, beef burgers and beef brisket, and we’re frequently booked for informal weddings and birthdays and milestone parties.
For a barbecue in Knightwood, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
