BBQ catering in Martin
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Martin
Is Martin too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
BBQ catering in Martin, served hot
There’s 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. On the menu are pulled pork, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports clubs and team events and leaving and retirement parties.
Near Martin, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Autumn and winter barbecues in Martin get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
