BBQ catering in Purbrook Heath, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and leaving and retirement parties, serving coleslaw, beef brisket and beef burgers.
Country barbecues near Purbrook Heath are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Why choose BBQ catering in Purbrook Heath?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us

Common questions in Purbrook Heath
How far is Purbrook Heath from London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Is Purbrook Heath too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
