How our BBQ catering works in Perham Down
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Perham Down, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Popular choices include coleslaw, sausages and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for retirement do’s and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Perham Down, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in Perham Down, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
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 for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
