BBQ Catering in Harrogate & Across Yorkshire
Live-fire BBQ for garden parties and outdoor events — relaxed, generous and full of flavour.
Live-fire BBQ catering done properly
Our BBQ catering in Harrogate is built around real flame and slow-cooked patience — not gas burners and shop-bought sauces. Trained across North Yorkshire and seasoned in the kitchens of Melbourne and Sydney, Jack brings a chef’s eye to outdoor cooking: dry-rubbed brisket cooked low and slow, smoky pulled pork, charred seasonal vegetables and house-made sides that turn a simple grill into a proper feast. Everything is prepared fresh on the day, so your guests eat food at its best.
Whether you’re hosting twenty friends or a couple of hundred, we scale the menu without losing the detail. We cater across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Leeds and York and the wider Yorkshire region, and we’re happy to talk through dietary requirements, vegetarian and vegan options, and grazing-style serving so nobody is left waiting.

BBQ catering for Harrogate garden parties
A live-fire BBQ is a brilliant centrepiece for summer garden parties, anniversaries and large outdoor events. We cook low and slow over real flame — dry-rubbed brisket, smoky pulled pork, char-grilled skewers and charred seasonal vegetables — and serve it with soft rolls, homemade sauces and fresh sides, carved and plated to order. For mixed tastes we build a spread with something for everyone. Pop-up and street-food serving is also part of what we do through our Jack In A Box street food brand — ideal if you want a more casual, festival feel to your day.
Every BBQ is priced per event, based on guest numbers, menu and location, so you only pay for what suits your occasion. Planning something bigger or more formal? Take a look at our event catering services for full-event packages.
