How our BBQ catering works in Tinsley Green
For bigger events in Tinsley Green, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. We serve pulled pork, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and school fairs and summer fêtes.
Country barbecues near Tinsley Green are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Sausages
Children generally head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Evening barbecues in Tinsley Green need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
