How our BBQ catering works in Upton Grey
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For summer parties in the garden and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Upton Grey, 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. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
