The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Red Hill need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.

BBQ catering for your event in Red Hill
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. For fundraising barbecues and school fairs and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers.
Country barbecues near Red Hill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
