BBQ catering in Westhampnett, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for family celebrations and summer staff days.
Near Westhampnett, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
