BBQ catering in Norham Manor, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Typical bookings include summer staff days and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving beef brisket, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
Around Norham Manor, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are 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’ll keep you both updated.

How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Norham Manor get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
