BBQ catering in Walliswood
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A clear quote with everything listed

How our BBQ catering works in Walliswood
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Walliswood, we’ll set up where it suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Walliswood makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
