A barbecue near Mill Corner

BBQ catering in Mill Corner, served hot

Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. For engagement and anniversary parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we can cook sausages, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers and more.

In a small place like Mill Corner, 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

  • A wet-weather plan for your guests
  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Mill Corner: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Mill Corner?

The closest is Doleham station, roughly 4.3 miles away.

How far is Mill Corner from London?

About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

How much choice do we need?

Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.

Is barbecued chicken safe?

Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.

Can we have a barbecue in winter?

Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.

Will children like the BBQ?

Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

What does the venue need to provide?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

What we serve, dish by dish

BBQ ribs

For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are frequently the highlight.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Why book with us

  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Take a look at our prices page and BBQ menu ideas.

Step by step

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 Mill Corner get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
  4. At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

How to prepare

  • Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
