How our BBQ catering works in Sleaford
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We serve beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving and retirement parties and big birthday parties.
Country barbecues near Sleaford are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For event organisers in Sleaford
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
