How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. In Temple, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose BBQ catering in Temple?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
