How our BBQ catering works in Peaslake
Hosting a barbecue normally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. For birthdays and milestone parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can cook coleslaw, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers and more.
A barbecue in the countryside near Peaslake makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to 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. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why Peaslake hosts choose us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- An itemised quote
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Hot food straight off the grill

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Peaslake stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
