BBQ catering for your event in Upton
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Popular choices include pulled pork, sausages and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and charity fundraisers.
In a place like Upton, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.

We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
