About our BBQ catering in Staplestreet
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and charity fundraisers, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages for your guests.
In a small place like Staplestreet, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

Staplestreet barbecues: local tips

If you had Mount Ephraim Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. If the day starts at a church like Church of St Michael, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. With the coast within about 6 miles of Staplestreet, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Staplestreet, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. 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 arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
