About our BBQ catering in Smallbridge
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. We’ll find the right spot at your venue in Smallbridge. For street parties and retirement do’s, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs for your guests.
Country barbecues near Smallbridge are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
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.
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. In Smallbridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Smallbridge hosts choose us
- An itemised quote
