How our BBQ catering works in Mattingley
In Mattingley, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Whether it is garden parties and community fun days, we will put together a menu of chicken skewers, beef burgers and sausages for your guests.
Country barbecues near Mattingley are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
