About our BBQ catering in Lower Bourne
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. On the menu are beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for street parties and back-garden get-togethers.
Around Lower Bourne, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
