A barbecue or other catering?
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. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- A full barbecue menu
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day

BBQ catering in Wigley, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. For reunions and family get-togethers and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook coleslaw, BBQ ribs and sausages.
Country barbecues near Wigley are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Wigley until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Show us the space.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
