BBQ catering for your event in Plumpton Green
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. For fundraising barbecues and work barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, BBQ ribs and pulled pork and more.
Country barbecues near Plumpton Green are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

How far is Plumpton Green from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Plumpton Green need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about

- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
