Bicester questions
Which station is closest to Bicester?
Bicester North station, in Bicester itself.
How far is Bicester from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
BBQ catering for your event in Bicester
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and work barbecues, serving beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Bicester, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. We need a level spot away from the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or OX26 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Parking near the grill
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. In Bicester, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Choose the menu a week or so before
