BBQ catering for Mortimer
BBQ catering in Mortimer, served hot
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include birthdays and milestone parties and fundraising barbecues, serving beef brisket, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
In a place like Mortimer, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why Mortimer hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Our staff serve and clear
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Common questions in Mortimer
Which station is closest to Mortimer?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
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.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.

For event organisers in Mortimer
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A green light from whoever owns the site
