BBQ catering in Lychpit, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and family celebrations, serving pulled pork, coleslaw and sausages.
Near Lychpit, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Where the barbecue can go in Lychpit
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:

- A clear way in from where we park
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Lychpit
Do you come out to small places like Lychpit?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Lychpit close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Lychpit, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
About the food
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
