About our BBQ catering in Up Somborne
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Up Somborne: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement do’s and sports clubs and team events, serving pulled pork, sausages and beef brisket.
In a small place like Up Somborne, 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 plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Up Somborne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Up Somborne
How far is Up Somborne from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Up Somborne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you handle food safety?

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Up Somborne. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
