About our BBQ catering in Wickhambreaux
Barbecue food is sociable food: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Wickhambreaux, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Popular choices include coleslaw, sausages and beef burgers, and we are often booked for back-garden get-togethers and sports clubs and team events.
A barbecue in the countryside near Wickhambreaux makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Evening barbecues in Wickhambreaux need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
