How our BBQ catering works in Quarley
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for summer staff days and fundraising barbecues.
Near Quarley, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Why choose BBQ catering in Quarley?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Quarley hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in Quarley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
