About our BBQ catering in Larkfield
Hosting a barbecue normally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Whether it’s birthdays and milestone parties and sports clubs and team events, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, chicken skewers and sausages.
Near Larkfield, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Larkfield, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
