About BBQ catering in West Berkshire
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Typical bookings include sports clubs and team events and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Local landmarks in Newbury
Bookings here are often close to St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School and the streets around them. Also close by are The Diamond Tap (within half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (within half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). There is a railway station in Newbury itself: Newbury station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). The countryside around Newbury includes Audrey's Meadow.
Planning a barbecue in West Berkshire
There are 3 towns and 139 villages and hamlets in West Berkshire, so whether your barbecue is in Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level cooking spot, space to serve and access for our kit. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Newbury: After a christening at a church such as St Nicolas Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. A green space like Victoria Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Sunset in Newbury is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Is a barbecue right for you?
Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, with a menu planned around your guests.

- What the price includes, item by item
- How dietary needs are handled
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Whether VAT is included
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
