BBQ catering in Washington, cooked on site
In Washington, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we can cook beef burgers, halloumi skewers and beef brisket for your guests.
Near Washington, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
