BBQ catering in Salters Heath, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are frequently asked to cater community fun days and back-garden get-togethers, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Salters Heath makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
