BBQ catering in Nutbourne, served hot
For bigger events in Nutbourne, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We serve beef burgers, pulled pork and sausages, and we’re often booked for street parties and garden parties.
In a small place like Nutbourne, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. A summer barbecue in Nutbourne stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
