Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

BBQ catering in Lower Padworth, served hot
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Lower Padworth, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are beef brisket, beef burgers and BBQ ribs, and we’re regularly asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
Country barbecues near Lower Padworth are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Lower Padworth until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
