BBQ catering in Littlestead Green, served hot
Some hosts in Littlestead Green pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. For Fêtes, fairs and sports days and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw for your guests.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

Is Littlestead Green close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve?
