How our BBQ catering works in Little Bookham
Some hosts in Little Bookham pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. We serve beef burgers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we’re often booked for community fun days and sports clubs and team events.
For a barbecue in Little Bookham, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Little Bookham need a little planning: 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.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
