Why choose BBQ catering in Mortimer West End?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing

- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.

Mortimer West End questions
Is Mortimer West End too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
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.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
