BBQ catering in Yorkletts, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. We’re frequently asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and sports clubs and team events, with beef brisket, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Yorkletts, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.

What BBQ catering costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, 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 Yorkletts stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

Planning help
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why Yorkletts hosts choose us
