BBQ catering for your event in Priddy's Hard
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Priddy's Hard, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Whether it’s 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and fundraising days, we can cook coleslaw, beef brisket and beef burgers and more.
In a small place like Priddy's Hard, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. A summer barbecue in Priddy's Hard stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
