BBQ catering for your event in Thong
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests.

Near Thong, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- An itemised quote

FAQs for Thong
Is Thong too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Chicken skewers
Skewers are easy to serve and easy to eat, with salad or in a roll.

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Thong stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
