BBQ catering in Woodside, served hot
In Woodside, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
