How our BBQ catering works in Lindford
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Lindford, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. Typical bookings include street parties and big birthday parties, with pulled pork, coleslaw and beef brisket.
Barbecues around Lindford are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Lindford, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Planned to your running order

- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
