BBQ catering in Yapton, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. Popular choices include chicken skewers, pulled pork and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving and retirement parties and fundraising barbecues.
Barbecues around Yapton are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.

What else we do in Yapton
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- A clear quote with everything listed
Read our prices page and menu ideas for your barbecue.
