What affects the price in Bix
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or RG9 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
About our BBQ catering in Bix
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 enjoy your own event. Whether it is sports clubs and team events and birthdays and milestone parties, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Bix, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, which keeps the queue moving.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Barbecues in Bix: gardens, clubs and local tips
Bix is about 6 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Events in Bix are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Bix is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 8 miles away.
If guests are travelling by rail, Henley-On-Thames station is about 2.9 miles away. After a christening at a church such as Church of St James, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Bix is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
We cover events in every part of RG9. Streets in the area include White Lane and Rectory Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. We also bring barbecues to events in Middle Assendon (1 mile north-east), Lower Assendon (1 mile south-east), Fawley Bottom (1 mile north-east), Catslip (2 miles north-west) and Shepherd's Green (2 miles south-west).

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, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Bix get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
