BBQ catering for your event in Meresborough

Near Meresborough, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Meresborough, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
