About our BBQ catering in Longparish
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and garden parties, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Longparish, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
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. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Where the event is

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
