A barbecue from the kitchen down the road
Hucknall is the town the kitchen is in, and for a barbecue that matters more than it does for a delivered buffet. The chefs, the grills, the gazebo and every tray of food come from Castle Industrial Park, so setting up ninety minutes before service is straightforward and an early start costs nobody anything.
Most Hucknall barbecues are clubs and community events: Hucknall Town FC, the cricket and bowls clubs, the John Godber Centre, summer fairs at the schools and events on Titchfield Park. After that it is family occasions in the bigger gardens around Broomhill, Butler’s Hill and Bestwood Village.
Out through Linby, Papplewick, Newstead and Annesley the settings get more rural and a grill is often the only practical way to serve hot food to a large group at once.
What is included and what to plan
Sides come with every package: Sadlergates coleslaw, mature cheddar slices, onions, kachumber salad and baby roasts with sauce vierge, with ketchup, American mustard and BBQ sauce alongside.
We need about three metres by five of level ground for the grills and no steps between there and the eating area. A wet-weather plan matters more than people expect, and it is about where the guests stand, not where the chef does.
The minimum is fifty guests or the equivalent booking value. Under that, one of the nine buffets from £5.50 a head is usually the better answer, and it can be ordered straight from the site.

Booked Sadlergates for my husband’s 50th birthday, The Hog Roast (we went with the Gold package). The team (Will, Ryan and Vickie) were all absolutely fantastic, friendly and professional whilst having a laugh with us! The food was completely outstanding, and every single guest commented on how incredible it was.
Shel · 50th birthday hog roast, Mansfield
Fantastic food and service from Sadlergates Catering for a family celebration. Everything arrived on time, looked great and tasted even better. Would not hesitate to use them again.
Hester · Family celebration, Nottingham
We received a sample buffet at our workplace and were very happy. The sandwiches were fresh, there was plenty of choice and the vegetarian option was properly thought about rather than an afterthought.
Sarah · Office buffet, Derby
We have catered Hucknall since 2012. If you have a date in mind, the earlier we know it the more likely it is still free.
Barbecue catering in Hucknall, your questions answered
How much is a barbecue in Hucknall?
£13.00 a head for The Standard with quarter pound burgers, butcher’s best sausages, a spicy bean burger and a vegan sausage. The Classic is £19.50 with tandoori chicken and a Quorn kebab, and The Premium is £30.00 with spatchcock chicken and BBQ pulled pork.
Can you do it at shorter notice here?
It is worth ringing. The kitchen and the equipment are in the town, so a Hucknall date is the one where a late question most often has a yes attached to it.
Is fifty guests the minimum?
Yes, or the equivalent booking value. Our chefs are on site for most of the afternoon, so below fifty a delivered buffet gives you considerably more food for the money.
Do you cover Linby, Papplewick and Bestwood Village?
Yes, along with Newstead, Annesley, Watnall, Nuthall, Kimberley and Eastwood.
What about vegetarians, vegans and halal?
A spicy bean burger and a vegan sausage are in the base package, not an extra. Halal-sourced portions are prepared separately and labelled, and we need the numbers for each when the booking is made.
How long are you on site?
We arrive an hour and a half before service, cook for a full hour with seconds, and clear away afterwards.
