There’s something magical about a BBQ. The sizzling of food on the grill, the smoky aroma wafting through the air, and the joy of gathering friends and family in the warmth of the sun. At Ceylon and Beyond, we understand that a BBQ is more than just food—it’s an event, an experience, and a celebration of flavour. Based in Bristol, we specialise in crafting unforgettable BBQs that take your taste buds on a journey.
Elevating the BBQ Experience
A well-executed BBQ combines the casual charm of outdoor dining with expertly prepared dishes. It’s the ultimate way to enjoy good company and great food without the fuss. Picture this: a beautifully set-up grill, glowing embers beneath, with delicious aromas floating on the breeze. The stars of the show? Our peach-grilled chicken wings, tender and smoky with just a hint of sweet and spicy homemade hot sauce. They’re followed by our sticky hoisin barbecue ribs, which are so tender they practically fall off the bone.
For those who enjoy bolder, spicier flavours, we offer our jerk-spiced chicken leg. Marinated and grilled to perfection, it packs a punch while staying juicy and full of flavour. But it’s not just about the meat—our baked sweet potato with jerk marinade is a perfect plant-based alternative, filled with the same smoky, spicy goodness.
Sides that Complete the Feast
A great BBQ isn’t complete without its sides, and at Ceylon and Beyond, we take our sides just as seriously as the mains. Imagine a serving of coconut rice & peas—light, fluffy, and fragrant. Or perhaps you prefer a bowl of smoky fries, golden and crisp, or maybe you’d opt for sweet potato fries with that perfect balance of crunch and sweetness.
Our mac ‘n’ cheese is an absolute must-try. Creamy, rich, and oozing with flavour, it’s the ultimate comfort food, and the perfect complement to any BBQ main. We also serve a refreshing seasonal grilled vegetable salad, a vibrant mix of vegetables, lightly charred for that distinctive BBQ taste, paired with fresh greens and a light dressing.
For something with a Mediterranean twist, our aubergine caponata—a sweet and tangy mix of aubergine, tomatoes, and olives—adds depth and richness to the spread. And let’s not forget the grilled corn on the cob, served with butter or a plant-based alternative for a simple yet satisfying side.
Desserts to Delight
As the grill cools, the feast isn’t over. At Ceylon and Beyond, we believe every BBQ deserves a sweet ending. Our double chocolate fudgy brownies are rich, indulgent, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. For a lighter option, our grilled pineapple served with creamy ice cream offers a perfect combination of caramelised sweetness and refreshing coolness.
If you’re craving something more buttery and decadent, our millionaire shortbread bites, with layers of shortbread, caramel, and chocolate, are perfect for those who enjoy a more indulgent treat. For something fruity, our white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake balances sweetness and tartness beautifully, making it a refreshing yet rich conclusion to your BBQ experience.
A BBQ for Everyone
One of the things that makes our BBQs so special is their adaptability. Whether you’re a meat lover, a fan of bold flavours, or prefer something plant-based, there’s something for everyone. Our plant-based options are crafted with as much care as our meat dishes, ensuring that vegetarians and vegans are just as satisfied. From our curried jackfruit-topped dirty fries to our grilled root vegetable medley with tabbouleh salad, every dish is designed to delight.
We take pride in offering a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes without compromising on flavour. Whether your guests are devouring a double patty beef burger with bacon jam and Monterey Jack cheese or tucking into a Cumberland sausage hot dog topped with crispy onions, sriracha mayo, and honey mustard, they’ll be savouring every bite.
The Joy of BBQ, Without the Stress
The best part about our BBQs? You don’t have to lift a finger. At Ceylon and Beyond, we handle everything—from the moment we set up the grill to the last plate served. No need to worry about cooking times, grilling technique, or preparation. We bring all the equipment, the team, and the expertise, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your event.
Our BBQs are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a laid-back garden party, celebrating a special event, or gathering friends and family for a get-together. The joy of a BBQ is in its simplicity—great food, great people, and the laid-back pleasure of dining outdoors.
A Feast to Remember
At the heart of every great BBQ is the food, and at Ceylon and Beyond, we’re passionate about crafting a menu that leaves a lasting impression. From the first bite of our peach-grilled chicken wings to the last spoonful of our decadent desserts, every dish is designed to make your event special. It’s not just about grilling—it’s about creating an experience where food and people come together in perfect harmony.
So, next time you’re planning an event, whether it’s a family gathering or a celebratory feast, think of a BBQ that goes beyond the usual burgers and hot dogs. At Ceylon and Beyond, we bring the flavours, the fun, and the fire, making sure your guests leave with full bellies and fond memories.
