A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How our BBQ catering works in South Street
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and sports days and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
Country barbecues near South Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in South Street, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
