BBQ catering in Poyle, served hot
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. Popular choices include chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef burgers, and we are frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Poyle makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
