What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Bampton is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.

Bampton barbecues: local tips
Bampton is about 3 miles south-east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Hosts in Bampton book us for events of all sizes. Bampton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Bampton to Oxford (13 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Historic houses near Bampton include Longworth House (4.8 miles south-east) and Kelmscott Manor (5 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one.
