BBQ catering in Lyminster, served hot
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. We are often asked to cater retirement do’s and garden parties, serving chicken skewers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs.
Country barbecues near Lyminster 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 chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Why choose BBQ catering in Lyminster?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Lyminster, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.

We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
