About our BBQ catering in Minley
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We will find the right spot at your venue in Minley. We’re often asked to cater fundraising barbecues and club open days, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Minley makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.

One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Minley need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

FAQs for Minley
Could you cook in Ancells Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
