Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Planning a barbecue in Chalkshire
Chalkshire is about 4 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Hosts in Chalkshire book us for events of all sizes. Chalkshire is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 19 miles away.
If the day starts at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. If guests are travelling by rail, Little Kimble station is about 1.3 miles away. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Chalkshire. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. Autumn and winter barbecues in Chalkshire get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Include children in your numbers
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or HP17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
