BBQ catering in New Ash Green, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We’re often asked to cater community fun days and retirement do’s, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and sausages.
