BBQ catering for your event in Red Post Bridge
Some hosts in Red Post Bridge pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We are often asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and leaving and retirement parties, with beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Red Post Bridge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Red Post Bridge hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
