About the food
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. A summer barbecue in Locksgreen stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
