BBQ catering in South Town, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in South Town: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it is relaxed weddings and evening receptions and family celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, coleslaw and chicken skewers for your guests.
In a small place like South Town, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in South Town stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
