BBQ catering in Tinkers Cross
About our BBQ catering in Tinkers Cross
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For reunions and family get-togethers and informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Tinkers Cross, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Tinkers Cross
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

Running late? Let us know, and we will adjust where we can.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Tinkers Cross, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.

Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Tinkers Cross. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
