BBQ catering for your event in West Langdon

In a small place like West Langdon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is barbecued chicken safe?

Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. For an evening barbecue in West Langdon, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
