BBQ catering in Stoke
BBQ catering in Stoke, served hot
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Stoke, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve chicken skewers, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for family celebrations and fundraising barbecues.
Country barbecues near Stoke are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Stoke: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Stoke?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you cover Stoke?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Stoke and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. By late September, sunset in Stoke is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- 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.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
