A catered barbecue compared with other options

Brightwalton questions
Is Brightwalton too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
- Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
- Six barbecue meats to choose from
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
