BBQ catering in St Mary's, served hot
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. For street parties and evening wedding food, we can cook pulled pork, coleslaw and halloumi skewers and more.
Around St Mary's, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies

It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.

For event organisers in St Mary's

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in St Mary's need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- 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 clear up and go.
