For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
BBQ catering in Wivelrod, cooked on site
For bigger events in Wivelrod, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Whether it’s engagement and anniversary parties and big birthday parties, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and beef burgers.
In a small place like Wivelrod, 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Where the barbecue can go in Wivelrod
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
See our pricing or BBQ menu ideas.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
