A barbecue near Maltman's Hill
BBQ catering in Maltman's Hill, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. We’re frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and work barbecues, serving halloumi skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Maltman's Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
