BBQ catering in Wainscott, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We are often asked to cater leaving parties and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving beef brisket, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
In a place like Wainscott, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules

The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Wainscott, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
