BBQ catering in Bowsey Hill, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. Popular choices include pulled pork, halloumi skewers and sausages, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and retirement do’s.
A barbecue in the countryside near Bowsey Hill makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Bowsey Hill?
Wargrave station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Is the meat halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Bowsey Hill. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch, especially at a wedding or work event.
