BBQ catering in Wavendon, cooked on site
In Wavendon, 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 cricket, football and rugby club days and community fun days, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, sausages and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Wavendon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
