BBQ catering in Small Hythe, cooked on site
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 barbecues and club open days, we can cook beef burgers, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Small Hythe, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
