Diets, allergies and alternatives
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
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
BBQ catering in Bladon, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Whether it is team days and staff summer parties and big birthday parties, we can cook pulled pork, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs and more.
In a small place like Bladon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:

- A clear way in from where we park
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
