The produce we use is what makes us Grate

Fire, smoke and amazing food

 

At Grate Catering & Events HQ we love all things nice and that includes fantastic local high welfare meats, sustainable fish and amazing seasonal veg. And we enjoy all of these things cooked over our bespoke fire pit and asado cross.

We work with some of the best meat, fish and veg producers in the business to make sure that any of the events we cater for get the best of that season. Even the charcoal and wood we use on our fire pit comes from managed woodlands within Hampshire.

As well as our out door fire pit events, Grate Catering & Events host monthly supper clubs here in Southsea as well as private dinner parties in your own home. We can cater for a range of events, so head over to the contact page and get in touch.
