How our BBQ catering works in Trench Green
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve sausages, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and neighbourhood parties.
Near Trench Green, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite, filling and easy to eat.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Trench Green hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. Sunset in Trench Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
