Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Can you barbecue near the sea around St Helens?

Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
