BBQ catering for your event in St Mary Hoo
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Whether it is relaxed weddings and evening receptions and close and cul-de-sac parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs and more.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- A full barbecue menu
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- No surprises: everything in writing

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?

Do you need anything from us?

Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
