BBQ catering in Stockbridge
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
BBQ catering in Stockbridge, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. We serve chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraising days and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Stockbridge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. By late September, sunset in Stockbridge is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

What the cooking area needs

- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Parking near the grill
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows

Questions from Stockbridge
Is Stockbridge close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Stockbridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
