How our BBQ catering works in Whitehall
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We will find the right spot at your venue in Whitehall. On the menu are beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
In a small place like Whitehall, 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 handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in Whitehall need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day

Is Whitehall too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Whitehall?
Yes, Whitehall is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can it be a sit-down meal?

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes for a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
