How our BBQ catering works in St Lawrence
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. For fundraising barbecues and back-garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef burgers for your guests.
Around St Lawrence, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in St Lawrence is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
