BBQ catering for Caversham Park Village
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Add a hog roast alongside

BBQ catering in Caversham Park Village, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and evening wedding food.
In a place like Caversham Park Village, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices

The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
