Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
BBQ catering in Woolmer, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We are frequently asked to cater garden parties and fundraising barbecues, with halloumi skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Country barbecues near Woolmer are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Questions from Woolmer
Is Woolmer too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Woolmer close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
