BBQ catering for your event in Penhurst
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for school fairs and summer fêtes and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Penhurst, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
