Barbecues in Boxford: gardens, clubs and local tips
Boxford is about 4 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Planning a catered barbecue in Boxford? We cover the whole area. We bring barbecues to all 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire. We cater events right across the region, from Boxford to Reading (17 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Kintbury station, about 3.9 miles south-west. Within reach of Boxford are historic houses such as Benham Park (2.5 miles south) and Shaw House (3.5 miles south-east).

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in RG20, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on School Lane and Winterbourne Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. If your venue is just outside Boxford, we also cover Wickham Heath (1 mile south-west), Winterbourne (2 miles east), Stockcross (2 miles south), Bagnor (3 miles south-east) and North Heath (3 miles north-east).

BBQ catering in Boxford, served hot
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. Whether it’s sports clubs and team events and fundraising days, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, pulled pork and halloumi skewers and more.
In a small place like Boxford, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Boxford
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Do you come to Boxford?

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Will children like the BBQ?

What happens on the day
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive

How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
