BBQ catering for your event in New Zealand
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. For engagement and anniversary parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can cook chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork for your guests.
Near New Zealand, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

Common questions in New Zealand
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?

What’s the nearest station to New Zealand?
Aylesbury station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. A summer barbecue in New Zealand stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
