Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- A full barbecue menu
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How our BBQ catering works in Poundsbridge
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For fundraising barbecues and team days and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near Poundsbridge makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Poundsbridge 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
