What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
About our BBQ catering in Tongham
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. For summer parties in the garden and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we can cook beef brisket, beef burgers and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a barbecue in Tongham, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Where the barbecue can go in Tongham
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Serving and clearing done for you
