About our BBQ catering in Wartling
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. For charity fundraisers and sports clubs and team events, we can cook sausages, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Wartling makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

FAQs for Wartling
How far is Wartling from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Is Wartling too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How many meats should we choose?
Not normally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
