How our BBQ catering works in Burcot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve sausages, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and team days and staff summer parties.
Near Burcot, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Plates or china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. 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.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
Burcot questions
Could you cook in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Burcot from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
