BBQ catering in Aston Tirrold, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve pulled pork, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and school fairs and summer fêtes.
Near Aston Tirrold, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Aston Tirrold barbecues: local tips
Aston Tirrold is about 3 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. We cover Aston Tirrold and its neighbours for events. Aston Tirrold is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Aston Tirrold to Oxford (13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Brightwell Manor (3.3 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Cholsey station, about 1.8 miles east. Aston Tirrold is within about 4 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Local streets include Baker Street, Spring Lane and Aston Street; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on site by our chef
