Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask which items contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
BBQ catering in Nursted, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For garden parties and fundraising days, we can cook coleslaw, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Nursted makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. A summer barbecue in Nursted stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
