Rufforth is the kind of place where events tend to feel a bit more open and relaxed, especially with the surrounding countryside and space around you. It’s ideal for gatherings where people want to spread out, enjoy themselves and not feel boxed in by a formal setup. Over the past 18 years, we’ve brought our mobile BBQ to Rufforth for everything from private parties to larger outdoor events.
For most events here, the goal is to keep things running smoothly without overcomplicating it. We arrive with everything we need, get set up without disrupting your plans, and then run the catering so it fits naturally into the day. Guests can eat when they like, go back for seconds, and it keeps the whole event feeling easy and sociable.
The food plays a big part in that. We keep the menu focused on what people actually enjoy — steak burgers, sausages we make ourselves, chicken pieces marinated in our own jerk seasoning, and our hand-rolled chicken breast option made with herbs, chilli and cheese. Everything is cooked fresh on site, and all salads are prepared fresh on site as well, giving you a full and well-balanced spread rather than just a basic BBQ.
We’ve catered a wide range of events in Rufforth, including gatherings near the airfield and surrounding rural venues. It’s always a good atmosphere — plenty of space, people chatting, and the BBQ naturally becoming the centre point without feeling forced. If you’re local, Rufforth Airfield Market is always worth a visit and adds to the character of the area.

If you’re weighing up BBQ catering against a hog roast, it often comes down to the feel you want. BBQs give you more variety and flexibility, while hog roasts create more of a centrepiece. A lot of customers choose both for the best of both.
