BBQ catering for Old Malden
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Old Malden, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
