BBQ catering in Bletchingdon, cooked on site
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include coleslaw, chicken skewers and sausages, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement parties and street parties.
In a small place like Bletchingdon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Is Bletchingdon too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?

We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

What else we do in Bletchingdon
Organising for someone else?
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 booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why choose BBQ catering in Bletchingdon?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
What BBQ catering costs

- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
