How our BBQ catering works in Ruscote
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include relaxed weddings and evening receptions and retirement do’s, serving BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
For a barbecue in Ruscote, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Questions to ask before booking
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Travel and any London charges
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why choose BBQ catering in Ruscote?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. 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
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Served at the time you choose

Questions from Ruscote
Can you do a barbecue in People's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Ruscote from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Should we have every meat?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Sunset in Ruscote is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
