What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Room for a serving table next to the grill

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Nearby historic houses include Highclere Castle (2.7 miles south-west) and Shaw House (3.7 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.

What BBQ catering costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Burghclere Common is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
FAQs for Burghclere Common
Do you come out to small places like Burghclere Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
