How our BBQ catering works in Wierton
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Wierton, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Wierton, 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. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Wierton stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

The menu, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Common questions in Wierton
Is Wierton close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Wierton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Wierton. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
