BBQ catering in Wellow, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Wellow: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For summer parties in the garden and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook pulled pork, BBQ ribs and sausages and more.
Near Wellow, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Wellow is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:05pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.

FAQs for Wellow
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Wellow too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
