About our BBQ catering in Palmer's Green
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We serve pulled pork, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for club open days and neighbourhood parties.
Near Palmer's Green, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
