There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve pulled pork, sausages and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater club open days and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.

Beef brisket

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Nettlestead Green hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Planned to your running order
- Hot food straight off the grill
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Step by step
