BBQ catering for Smallfield
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
BBQ catering in Smallfield, served hot
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it is leaving and retirement parties and fundraising barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef brisket and beef burgers for your guests.
