How our BBQ catering works in Mid Lavant
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We serve halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and cricket, football and rugby club days.
In a small place like Mid Lavant, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
