About our BBQ catering in West Hendred

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in West Hendred need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
