Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our BBQ catering works in Park Gate
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and birthdays and milestone parties, with BBQ ribs, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Park Gate makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Park Gate is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.

- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Park Gate
Do you come out to small places like Park Gate?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Park Gate?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?

Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Will you clear up afterwards?
