BBQ catering in Sulham, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it is engagement and anniversary parties and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, chicken skewers and sausages for your guests.
Country barbecues near Sulham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
