BBQ catering in Woosehill, cooked on site
Some hosts in Woosehill pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater family celebrations and neighbourhood parties.
For a barbecue in Woosehill, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode

The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. A summer barbecue in Woosehill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
