BBQ catering in Springhead, cooked on site
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Springhead: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it is club open days and birthdays and milestone parties, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers and more.
In a place like Springhead, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Springhead need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house 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.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A full barbecue menu
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
