BBQ catering for your event in Pearson's Green
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 plan around it. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
A barbecue in the countryside near Pearson's Green makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Pearson's Green, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask which items contain gluten
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, and salads add freshness.
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
