How our BBQ catering works in Marcham
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs.
In a place like Marcham, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
