About our BBQ catering in Whitchurch-on-Thames
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater street parties and summer staff days, with pulled pork, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers.
Country barbecues near Whitchurch-on-Thames are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
