Outdoor / BBQ
At Eggheads event catering all of our outdoor packages are inspired by cooking on the BIG GREEN EGG. When I first got my big green egg I was truly blown away by the end results. I saw the need to share this experience with others, bring a different level of cooking over fire to parties and bring people together with delicious food.
A BBQ with a difference, in the comfort of your own home or venue…
If you’re looking to have a party with a unique catering experience then look no further, we can cater in all sorts of spaces, these could be gardens, marquees or warehouse spaces just to name a few. Our custom designed equipment allows us to cook over charcoal and create beautiful outdoor layouts anywhere. Our style of food is exciting and fun and is bound to put a smile on the faces of your guests.
We can cater for vegans and vegetarians and will work with you to tailor a menu to suit any dietary requirements.
If none of the menu’s on our website are to your liking then we can happily create a bespoke menu that you and your guests will be happy with.
The Big Green Egg
This is barbequeing at the next level! The Big Green Egg is a ceramic lined eggshaped barbeque and the versatility for a professional chef allows us to create some of the tastiest BBQ food you’ll ever taste. We come armed with one or two of these for your event and you will not be disspointed with what comes out of these!
