About our BBQ catering in Upper Halling
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it is fundraising days and sports clubs and team events, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, pulled pork and BBQ ribs for your guests.
In a small place like Upper Halling, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
