Event catering in Yateley
Event catering in Yateley, served hot
Good event catering in Yateley comes down to three things: hot food, good timing and a tidy finish. That’s how we work, with a hog roast or a barbecue. We are frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and christmas parties, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and pulled pork.
Plenty of events in Yateley happen at home, in the garden or on the drive, and our catering means nobody in the family is stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access to the garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How we compare with other caterers
Next to a cold buffet, everything we serve is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out for hours. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Hot food cooked at your venue
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at our pricing or how the two menus compare.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Choose your menu with us.
- We set up before food time.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
