Where the barbecue can go in Alkerton
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Alkerton questions
Do you come out to small places like Alkerton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater in Alkerton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Alkerton and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
