About our BBQ catering in Wolverton
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Wolverton: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater summer staff days and club open days, with sausages, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Wolverton makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Wolverton, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
