BBQ catering for your event in Sandleheath
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For evening wedding food and leaving and retirement parties, we can cook sausages, pulled pork and beef brisket for your guests.
A barbecue in the countryside near Sandleheath makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Travel to Sandleheath
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Sunset in Sandleheath is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Common questions in Sandleheath
Is Sandleheath too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
