BBQ catering in Scarborough, served hot
In Scarborough, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include fundraising days and engagement and anniversary parties, serving pulled pork, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Scarborough are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Looking after everyone

- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades

The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.

Questions from Scarborough
Is Scarborough too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you cater in Scarborough?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Scarborough and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
