How our BBQ catering works in Shatterling
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. For engagement and anniversary parties and birthdays and milestone parties, we can cook coleslaw, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers and more.
In a small place like Shatterling, 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 plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
