BBQ catering in Soldridge, served hot

Country barbecues near Soldridge are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
