How our BBQ catering works in Upper Street
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Upper Street, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. We serve beef brisket, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and leaving and retirement parties.
Country barbecues near Upper Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from
See how we price and our barbecue menu ideas.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. At midsummer, it is light in Upper Street until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Upper Street
Is Upper Street too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
