A barbecue near Onslow Village
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to 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. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A full barbecue menu
- A choice of salads and potatoes

BBQ catering in Onslow Village, served hot
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. On the menu are chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
Barbecues around Onslow Village are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
