How our BBQ catering works in Vernham Dean
For bigger events in Vernham Dean, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Typical bookings include cricket, football and rugby club days and reunions and family get-togethers, serving pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
Country barbecues near Vernham Dean 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
