About our BBQ catering in Sandy Cross
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For fundraising days and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Sandy Cross, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
