BBQ catering in Parkhurst, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. Whether it is retirement do’s and fundraising days, we can cook BBQ ribs, sausages and pulled pork for your guests.
Near Parkhurst, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Sunset in Parkhurst is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Parkhurst
Is Parkhurst too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Parkhurst?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
What do children normally eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
For event organisers in Parkhurst
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
For somewhere as remote as Parkhurst, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
