BBQ catering for your event in Mott's Mill
Some hosts in Mott's Mill pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We serve pulled pork, sausages and BBQ ribs, and we’re often booked for fundraising barbecues and team days and staff summer parties.
Near Mott's Mill, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
