- Space for our vehicle nearby

- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
Thorley Street is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Questions from Thorley Street
Is Thorley Street 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.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Thorley Street get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
