BBQ catering for your event in Richmond upon Thames
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For back-garden get-togethers and street parties, we can cook beef brisket, BBQ ribs and pulled pork for your guests.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.

- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
