BBQ catering in Staple, cooked on site
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Staple and we will check it works. Whether it is informal weddings and street parties, we can cook beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Staple, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
Staple questions
Which station is closest to Staple?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Staple?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.

- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Pulled pork

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. By late September, sunset in Staple is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
