BBQ catering in Ashford Hill, cooked on site
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We’ll find the right spot at your venue in Ashford Hill. Popular choices include pulled pork, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and sports clubs and team events.
In a small place like Ashford Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Ashford Hill need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Let us know about children’s numbers
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A clear way in from where we park
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Travel to Ashford Hill
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time

A catered BBQ in Ashford Hill: what to know

After a christening at a church such as Church of St Paul, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If guests are travelling by rail, Midgham station, about 3 miles north, is the nearest station.
This part of West Berkshire takes in RG19. Streets in the area include Chapel Lane, Benham Lane and Old Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
