BBQ catering for your event in Wigmore
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. We serve beef brisket, pulled pork and sausages, and typical bookings are for birthdays and milestone parties and back-garden get-togethers.
For a barbecue in Wigmore, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What BBQ catering costs
Things that change the price:
- Travel to Wigmore
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. At midsummer, it is light in Wigmore until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- 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.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
