About our BBQ catering in Caldecott

Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. For back-garden get-togethers and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs and more.

In a place like Caldecott, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Sunset in Caldecott is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Pick the menu with us.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
  4. We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage

FAQs for Caldecott

Which station is closest to Caldecott?

Culham station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.

Can you do a barbecue in Albert Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

What does the venue need to provide?

The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.

Do you label the food for allergies?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

How much choice do we need?

Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.

Can you cater in Caldecott?

Yes, Caldecott is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.

Can you barbecue in bad weather?

We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

  • Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Working with your venue

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
