About our BBQ catering in Mayford
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We are often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and work barbecues, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Mayford makes a lovely summer party. 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: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Mayford

Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What do children typically eat?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.

Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
