About our BBQ catering in North Heath
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Typical bookings include sports clubs and team events and reunions and family get-togethers, with BBQ ribs, sausages and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near North Heath makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. By late September, sunset in North Heath is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.

Getting ready for the day

Your questions about a catered barbecue in North Heath
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is North Heath too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Do you come to North Heath?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including North Heath and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to North Heath
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Six meats to choose from
- Cooked on site by our chef
- No surprises: everything in writing
