About the food
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
BBQ catering in Princelett, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. For 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we can cook sausages, halloumi skewers and beef brisket for your guests.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

For event organisers in Princelett
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
