How our BBQ catering works in Winterbourne
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Popular choices include beef brisket, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for club open days and family celebrations.
Country barbecues near Winterbourne are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Winterbourne, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Let us know about tight access
