How our BBQ catering works in Rowfant
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and community fun days, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
Country barbecues near Rowfant are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Why choose BBQ catering in Rowfant?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our staff serve and clear
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Rowfant, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
