About our BBQ catering in St Cross
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. For fundraising barbecues and street parties, we can cook beef brisket, sausages and beef burgers for your guests.
Barbecues around St Cross are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- Hot food straight off the grill

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
