Catering across Cumbria & the North West
Planning a hog roast in Cumbria or live BBQ catering? Townhouse Catering brings chefs and live cooking into the occasion, with the menu and setup planned around your venue, guests and event style. We also welcome enquiries from the North West.
A hog roast or live BBQ works because the cooking becomes part of the atmosphere. Instead of food simply arriving and being placed on a table, guests can see chefs working in real time.
The aim is not to make every event identical. A relaxed outdoor party, a wedding evening, a club event and a company gathering may all need different timings, quantities and service styles, even if the live-cooking format is similar.
Live cooking gives guests something to gather around, not just a static buffet table.
Hog roast, BBQ catering or a mix, planned around the venue and guest numbers.
Suited to celebrations, hospitality occasions and company functions as well as parties.
The service can be considered for both domestic and commercial occasions. For events that need a broader package, live BBQ or hog roast can also sit alongside wedding catering or event catering.
Relaxed live cooking for birthdays, family gatherings, summer parties and outdoor celebrations.
A more informal food option for the later part of the day, where guests can gather, eat and keep the celebration flowing.
Suitable for sports clubs, organised gatherings and occasions where guests are moving around rather than sitting for a formal meal.
Live food for team days, client hospitality and commercial functions where the catering can add energy to the event.
A hog roast or BBQ needs more than a menu. The venue, access and service style all have to work on the day.
