About our BBQ catering in Lamberhurst
For bigger events in Lamberhurst, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include coleslaw, beef brisket and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater family celebrations and back-garden get-togethers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Lamberhurst makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
