BBQ catering in St Mary Bourne, cooked on site
For bigger events in St Mary Bourne, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Whether it’s team days and staff summer parties and fundraising barbecues, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, beef burgers and sausages for your guests.
Near St Mary Bourne, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
