About the food
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, alongside the other meats.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
BBQ catering in Winklebury, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. On the menu are beef burgers, sausages and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for summer parties in the garden and charity fundraisers.
Around Winklebury, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
