BBQ catering in South Park, cooked on site
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. Our chef grills on site in South Park, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We’re often asked to cater charity fundraisers and informal weddings, serving sausages, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
For a barbecue in South Park, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Sunset in South Park is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
