BBQ catering in Banbury, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. For close and cul-de-sac parties and sports clubs and team events, we can cook sausages, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
A summer barbecue at a club or school in Banbury is a popular fundraiser, and the grill can go on the edge of the field or in the car park. Check the club or school is happy first. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Questions from Banbury
Which station is closest to Banbury?
Banbury station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in People's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.

On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t 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.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
How the day works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Banbury until about 9:30pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
