About our BBQ catering in Westridge
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. On the menu are coleslaw, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Westridge, 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 plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Westridge get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Choose the menu a week or so before

When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and time of the event

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Westridge is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
