BBQ catering in North Looe, cooked on site
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. For summer staff days and fundraising days, we can cook chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef burgers.
Country barbecues near North Looe are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

How we price a catered barbecue
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Room for a serving table next to the grill

Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
