BBQ catering for your event in Botley
For bigger events in Botley, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Popular choices include pulled pork, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Botley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Botley
Which station is closest to Botley?

Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Planning a barbecue in Botley

Among the historic houses close to Botley are Chenies Manor House (3.1 miles south-east) and Cholesbury Manor House (4.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Churches such as St George's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Botley, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Wherever your event is in HP5, we can cook on site for your guests. From Botley Road, Broomstick Lane and Goose Acre or anywhere nearby, we will bring the barbecue to you.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
