About our BBQ catering in Stanmore
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Stanmore, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. We serve BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for close and cul-de-sac parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Country barbecues near Stanmore are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Where the barbecue can go in Stanmore
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food straight off the grill

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
