BBQ catering in Lower Cox Street, cooked on site
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. We serve beef brisket, coleslaw and pulled pork, and we are often booked for charity fundraisers and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
In a small place like Lower Cox Street, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
