How our BBQ catering works in Lower Pennington
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. Typical bookings include team days and staff summer parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving beef burgers, beef brisket and coleslaw.
In a small place like Lower Pennington, 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 handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
