BBQ catering in West Street, cooked on site
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. Whether it is retirement do’s and family celebrations, we can cook pulled pork, beef burgers and chicken skewers for your guests.
Country barbecues near West Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in West Street is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.

- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to West Street
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Questions from West Street
Do you come out to small places like West Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is West Street close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Normally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
