About our BBQ catering in Upper Burgate
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 chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and club open days.
In a small place like Upper Burgate, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Upper Burgate is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, alongside the other meats.
Sausages
Children normally head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Upper Burgate questions
Do you come out to small places like Upper Burgate?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
