Why charcoal
“It's not a burger van or a stage piece, just a working BBQ kitchen that adds atmosphere without taking over.”
Krystal, Table
It's the smell of the charcoal, the buzz around the trailer and plenty of good food. A BBQ brings a bit of atmosphere, and guests tend to feel more at ease.
Our Trailblazer is a working charcoal BBQ, about the size of a small garden trailer. We cook in front of your guests, so they can see, smell and hear the food being cooked.
It's also a reliable way to feed a mix of ages and appetites without overcomplicating things. A BBQ can be relaxed or dressed up a little. We've done both.
On the day
1
We arrive in plenty of time to set up the Trailblazer and serving area and get the charcoal going.
2
Everything is cooked over charcoal at the event, close to when it's served.
3
Guests can be called table by table, and our team serves from the trailer with salads and sides alongside.
4
We clear plates, serve Desserts if you've booked them, then pack down and leave the space tidy.
“Food was served at the agreed time and was enjoyed by everyone with a queue forming when 'seconds' were mentioned! Krystal worked quietly and efficiently and was in complete control, leaving us to enjoy the company of our guests.”

Your venue
We've cooked in gardens, barns, fields, marquees and city venues. Before you book, we'll check the space with you.
Vehicle access at least 1.8m wide, ideally on a hard surface like tarmac.
A flat, level area of about 3m × 3m for cooking and serving, or 3m × 6m for very large events.
Helpful, but not essential. Sometimes we only need water and electricity, and we can talk through options if there's neither.
The BBQ is mostly protected, but we don't supply gazebos or marquees. In poor weather, it's best to serve from a covered area.
Who it's for
Charcoal BBQs typically suit 30 to 150 guests.
Birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations, often at home or in the garden.

Special Diets
We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs before the event. Where we can, we keep things separate, and guests know which food is theirs.
The Trailblazer cooks meat, so we either deep clean it and cook only vegetarian or vegan food at your event, or bring a smaller BBQ for the vegetarian and vegan items.
Please let us know about Special Diets at least two weeks before the event.
All allergens are present in our kitchens. Due to the mobile nature of our business, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination.
