What we can do for you...

The Cambridge Barbecue Company provides a catering service for Cambridge and the surrounding areas. We provide speciality barbecue services for all types of events from weddings, birthdays, and private parties to village fetes and corporate hospitality throughout Cambridgeshire. We cater for parties of all sizes, though our minimum charge is based on 50 guests.

Hosting a large event can be complicated enough without having to worry about getting the food right — and that's without considering the hours of preparation time ahead of your function. That's where we come in, to take that weight from your shoulders.

We stock a large range of speciality produce, from fresh handmade burgers, through shishkebabs and speciality sausages, to specially prepared steaks and much more. We can provide and cook chicken, pork, lamb, beef, and — depending on seasonal availability — more exotic fare, such as venison and ostrich.

Us & Our Partners

The Cambridge Barbecue Company is an established family business, run by a husband and wife partnership. We are covered by our own full public liability insurance and hold current food hygiene certificates.

We have strong relationships with other Cambridge businesses, sourcing local free range and organic pork from Andrew Northrop, a local and noted butcher. We also provide a hire service for marquees and gazebos and work in conjunction with M&T Marquees, who hire marquees, tables, chairs, and even chandeliers. We also run the Cambridge Hog Roast Company if you require something a little extra special for your event.

Terms & Requirements

A certain amount of setting up time is required before you wish your food to be served, so access to the site is required 2 hours in advance of serving time. Please note that we have to move some large machinery into place, so a clear route is always appreciated.

We need a small area of level ground on which to set up our equipment. We will provide tables and — depending on the weather — cover for the cooking and serving areas. We bring our own power supply if needed, but access to a supply of fresh water is appreciated.

The Cambridge Barbecue Company will provide you with a free quotation for catering your event. Upon acceptance of a quotation you will be asked to provide us with a £100 booking deposit. Please note that your booking is only secured upon our receipt of this deposit and that the deposit is non-refundable in the event of your cancellation.
