Dirty BBQ Full Description
Fed up of sausages, burgers and hog roasts? Want something with theatre and spectacle but also superbly tasty real BBQ food? Everything we cook from our low and slow overnight meats to our on site barrel cooks are over either ethical charcoal or wood, no gas or electric here. We have all the mains you'd expect from a southern USA inspired BBQ company, and some central and South American ones you might not expect! Mains, and sides are all on our menu too. Pulled pork, ribs, brisket, to tacos al pastor, picanha, and even shawarma. Plenty of non meat choices, real plants not imitation meat; pulled jackfruit, cauliflower bites, gumbo, and jambalaya. Most dietary choices, requirements, intolerances and allergies can be catered for. Allergens and whether gluten free or not is noted on our menu too. We care about the quality and food miles of our produce, and believe that British and south west produce is some of the best in the world. Combined with ingredients from abroad where important, like some of the key ingredients in our rubs and seasonings, provenance is key to our food. Serving the South West of the UK the real BBQ it deserves. Our service area is from Tewkesbury south, Cardiff east, Swindon west, and Poole west down to Cornwall.

Phenomenal food

The food was quite frankly Phenomenal! The pork belly bites were huge and tender, the smoked chicken was deliciously flavoursome, and the wedges were wonderful, and the Mac and Cheese was on point. We had gluten intolerant guests and Dirty BBQ were able to amend there wedges recipe so they could have more GF food options, and they tasted amazing, we didn’t notice any difference. The portion sizes were extremely generous, and our wedding guests were praising highly the food quality. The team we h

Wonderful food

Thank you so so much for the incredible stress free, delicious and so well organised food you created for us on our day. Many guests have said it was the best food they have ever had at any wedding and myself and Henry absolutely agree. The different tastes, the succulent meats and the sides were so delicious and so much to be eaten it was just incredible. I was so overwhelmed on the day I wish we had leftovers to experience it all over again it was just brilliant. The spread you delivered to the amount of guests was just incredible and I really cannot say thank you enough, Dirty BBQ is such a little gem and I am so pleased we found you, thank you thank you thank you!
