How our BBQ catering works in Leigh Green
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. We are often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, serving beef burgers, sausages and BBQ ribs.
Country barbecues near Leigh Green 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.
What we serve, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Sunset in Leigh Green is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
