About the food
Pulled pork

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Maplehurst
Do you come out to small places like Maplehurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Maplehurst from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. At midsummer, it is light in Maplehurst until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
