BBQ catering in Stoke Row, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it’s fundraising barbecues and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, beef brisket and sausages.
In a small place like Stoke Row, 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. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
