FAQs for Bow
Is Bow too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Bow from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Bow. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Why choose BBQ catering in Bow?
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Bow hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you

How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Bow, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.

Bow barbecues: local tips
Bow is about 4 miles east of Faringdon, in Oxfordshire. We cater events of every size in Bow. We cater all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Bow to Oxford (14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Longworth House (4.3 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser.
We bring barbecues to events all over the SN7 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Chapel Road, High Street and Sheards Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Bow, we cover Stanford in the Vale (1 mile west), Hatford (1 mile north-west), Shellingford (2 miles west), Baulking (2 miles south-west) and Buckland (3 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Oxford (14 miles north-east), Didcot (11 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles east), Witney (10 miles north), Carterton (10 miles north-west) and Wantage (5 miles south-east).

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Parking near the grill
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
