BBQ catering in Staines-upon-Thames, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re frequently asked to cater sports clubs and team events and back-garden get-togethers, with coleslaw, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.
In a town like Staines-upon-Thames, a garden barbecue is a summer favourite, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. All we need is a level spot with clearance. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Is the food cooked safely?

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Staines-upon-Thames, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
