BBQ catering in Lower Upham
How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Lower Upham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark

How our BBQ catering works in Lower Upham
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Lower Upham, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
