BBQ catering for your event in South Weirs
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in South Weirs: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For fundraising days and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and pulled pork for your guests.
Near South Weirs, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Questions from South Weirs
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is South Weirs too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you come to South Weirs?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.

About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite, filling and easy to eat.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
