BBQ catering in New Pound, served hot
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it’s summer staff days and leaving parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What if it rains?

Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.

Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
