BBQ catering for your event in West Yoke
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Typical bookings include sports clubs and team events and birthdays and milestone parties, serving halloumi skewers, pulled pork and coleslaw.
In a small place like West Yoke, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
