About The Pit & Platter

We provide professional event catering across the UK, specialising in BBQ catering from our BBQ trailer, grazing tables, and hot & cold buffets for weddings, corporate functions, and private parties.

Our BBQ wedding catering brings smoky flavours and hearty dishes to your special day, while our corporate buffet catering is perfect for office lunches, conferences, and staff celebrations. For something truly eye-catching, our grazing tables are styled with artisan meats, cheeses, breads, and fresh produce – a stunning centrepiece that gets guests talking.

Whether you’re planning a wedding reception, corporate event, or a private party, our tailored menus are designed to impress. With a focus on fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and creative presentation, The Pit & Platter delivers catering that’s both memorable and delicious.

Our Story

Some people dream of climbing mountains, starting rock bands, or writing novels. Us? We just wanted to make food so good that people would talk about it for weeks… and maybe even dream about it.

It all started with the two of us, Steve and Rowland, and sharing two big loves: the smoky magic of BBQ and the joy of sharing great food with great people. Throw in a little event flair, a bucket load of mischief, and a stubborn belief that food should never be boring, and you’ve got the recipe for The Pit & Platter.

​We asked ourselves — why settle for a sandwich platter in clingfilm when you could have slow-smoked brisket that melts in your mouth, crispy-skinned BBQ chicken, colourful grazing boards piled high with artisan cheeses, fresh fruits, and seasonal nibbles.

So we built a trailer. Not just any trailer — our pride and joy. Stainless steel edging, charcoal black and warm wood touches, a big serving hatch, and enough kitchen kit to feed a small village. We wanted to roll up anywhere — weddings, corporate events, festivals, private parties — and instantly turn it into the kind of gathering where the smell of the food pulls people in like moths to a flame.

Over our combined 65 years of catering for events and working in many award winning restaurants and hotels we’ve seen it all:

Brides sneaking out of photo shoots to grab a slider before the guests get them. Office workers in suits abandoning spreadsheets for seconds (and thirds). Festival crowds lining up for smoky ribs like they’re the headline act.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

For us, catering isn’t just about cooking and serving food — it’s about creating moments. That hum of happy chatter when everyone’s got a plate in hand. The aunty who swears she’s “not much of a meat eater” but ends up with pulled pork sauce down her dress. The father of the bride determined to make the catering budget count. The kids making mountains of cheese and crackers on their plates like it’s a building competition.

Our menus are a mix of our best memories. BBQ, hot & cold buffets, and grazing tables — all made with fresh, quality ingredients and that extra dash of care that turns our memory into your memory.

Whether you’re hosting 30 guests or 3000, we’re here to make sure everyone’s fed, happy, and maybe a little smug about how good the food was.

So, that’s our story. It’s simple: Good food, good company, good times. We bring the pit, the platters, and the smiles — you just bring the people.

The Pit & Platter — come hungry, leave happy, tell everyone.
