BBQ catering for Outwood
BBQ catering in Outwood, cooked on site
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Outwood: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Popular choices include beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for retirement do’s and work barbecues.
Country barbecues near Outwood 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. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Outwood, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
