How our BBQ catering works in Popeswood
Some hosts in Popeswood pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. For school fairs and summer fêtes and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we can cook beef brisket, sausages and coleslaw and more.
For a barbecue in Popeswood, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
