BBQ catering in Penton Grafton
BBQ catering for your event in Penton Grafton
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and street parties, with pulled pork, sausages and coleslaw.
In a small place like Penton Grafton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
