Common questions in Bledington
Is Bledington too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Bledington?
Kingham station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Bledington, think about light: it is light until about 9:30pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or OX7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
