Our meats are carefully sourced, quality-checked and marinated overnight for a full-on Caribbean flavour and a unique taste you'll find no where else.
Our Team
BarbecueStar® is a proud soldier-owned and soldier-operated venture - yes our team are made up of soldiers originating from across the Caribbean and UK. Some of our team members have been serving as professional chefs in the Armed Forces here in the UK and on overseas operations for many years so they are very much experienced. Our goal is to harness these valuable skills while providing a vibrant, rewarding team who enjoys serving both in the forces and here at BarbecueStar®. At peak periods we employ staff from outside the military to help serve our delicious food to our loyal customers.
Our Story
BarbecueStar® was founded by Roger Leggard in 2016 while he was based at Guterslon in Western Germany, in order to share the unique Caribbean taste with the British Forces Germany (BFG) and the German people.
But after notice of his posting back to the UK, as an Initial Trade Training Instructor (ITT), the opportunity to launch the business in Germany was swiftly re-directed to the UK. This was all the more promising due to the simplicity and provisions towards start-ups in the UK. BarbecueStar® is growing steadily and is full of potential to one day become your next household name so while we may be mobile our vision is to have our very own restaurant.

Our Sustainability Pledge
BarbecueStar® is committed to being a responsible company and is aggressively exploring ways in which we can operate in a more earth-friendly manner. In 2019 we stopped the use of single use take-away bags and plastic straws and are now using fair-trade and bio-degradable products. And we are continuing to source our produce and other supplies locally where possible. We are also mindful of our vehicle use and limiting its use where we can. In 2021, with our partners, we will be launching a green mobility project which promises to help curb the amount of fossil fuel that is generated in the community and the world, so watch this space for updates.
