About our BBQ catering in Weavering
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Typical bookings include charity fundraisers and cricket, football and rugby club days, with beef burgers, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
Around Weavering, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What affects the price in Weavering
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Weavering is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
