Outdoor Catering Belfast — Mobile BBQ for Gardens, Marquees & Venues

Planning an outdoor event in Belfast? Whether it's a garden party, a marquee wedding reception or a corporate summer day, The Arches BBQ Trailer brings fully staffed, live-fire catering directly to your venue — chefs cooking fresh on the grill while your guests enjoy the atmosphere.

Mobile BBQ for gardens, marquees and venues

Unlike traditional caterers who prepare food off-site and transport it in trays, we cook everything in front of your guests. Burgers, wings, ribs and sides come straight off the grill and onto the serving station — with fresh salads, slaws and homemade sauces included in every package.

Our trailers are self-contained and covered, so we can set up on grass, gravel, car parks or hardstanding. All we need is safe access for the van and trailer, and enough space for our chefs to work. If you're unsure whether your venue suits a BBQ trailer, get in touch with a photo or address and we'll confirm within 24 hours.

What's included from £19 per person

Every outdoor catering booking includes:

• Two fully equipped BBQ trailers and experienced chefs
• Your choice of package — from £19pp (Package 1) or £23pp (Package 2)
• Fresh salads, sides and homemade sauces
• Disposable plates, napkins and cutlery
• Setup before guests arrive and clean-down afterwards

We typically cater from 30 guests upwards. For larger outdoor events — 80, 100 or more — we scale the menu and serving to keep queues moving. See our full menu and packages for details.

Perfect for Belfast outdoor events

Our outdoor catering is ideal for:

• Garden parties — birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings
• Marquee weddings — relaxed buffet-style feasts with real fire
• Corporate summer days — staff parties, client hospitality and away days
• Community and charity events — festivals, fairs and fundraisers
• Sports club days — end-of-season celebrations and presentation nights

We cover Greater Belfast as standard and travel across Northern Ireland. Events beyond ~15 miles include a small per-mile travel charge, confirmed upfront in your quote.

Weather, space and dietary needs

Rain? Our trailer is fully covered and we cook in all conditions. If your guests don't have a covered area, a small marquee for serving is worth considering — we can recommend local hire companies.

Dietary requirements? Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options are all available. Just give us numbers when you book and we'll plan accordingly.

Power and water? Our trailers are largely self-sufficient. We'll confirm any site requirements when we take your booking.

Why choose The Arches for outdoor catering

We're based on Holywood Road in Belfast — the same team behind The Arches Café. That means real kitchen experience, not a pop-up operator learning on the job. Transparent pricing from £19pp, chef-cooked food, and a team that's done hundreds of outdoor events across Northern Ireland.
