BBQ catering for your event in Ticehurst
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthday parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving chicken skewers, beef burgers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Ticehurst, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
