BBQ catering for your event in Westwell
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for back-garden get-togethers and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
Country barbecues near Westwell are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Westwell until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day

How we price a catered barbecue
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Travel to Westwell
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Why choose BBQ catering in Westwell?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
