BBQ catering in Rookley Green, served hot
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include chicken skewers, sausages and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Rookley Green makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Why choose BBQ catering in Rookley Green?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- A full barbecue menu
- Our chef at the grill, not you
