BBQ catering in Salehurst, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. On the menu are beef brisket, sausages and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater community fun days and reunions and family get-togethers.

No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
