About our BBQ catering in Wych Cross
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. We serve halloumi skewers, beef burgers and sausages, and typical bookings are for fundraising days and street parties.
Country barbecues near Wych Cross are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

What else we do in Wych Cross
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Wych Cross hosts choose us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on site by our chef

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. A summer barbecue in Wych Cross stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
