BBQ catering for Southington
About our BBQ catering in Southington
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For birthdays and milestone parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook sausages, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
In a small place like Southington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
For event organisers in Southington
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- A full barbecue menu
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Southington
Do you come out to small places like Southington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Southington from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Southington, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
