BBQ catering in Sayers Common, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include cricket, football and rugby club days and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving pulled pork, sausages and beef burgers.
In a small place like Sayers Common, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
