BBQ catering in Lynsore Bottom, cooked on site
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Lynsore Bottom: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For fundraising days and school fairs and summer fêtes, we can cook coleslaw, chicken skewers and sausages.
In a small place like Lynsore Bottom, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it where possible.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to 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. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
