Questions from Caldecote
How far is Caldecote from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Caldecote too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
What do children normally eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How we price a catered barbecue
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

Why us?

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
