How our BBQ catering works in Charvil
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. We’ll find the right spot at your venue in Charvil. We serve halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and community fun days.
For a barbecue in Charvil, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Working with your venue

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Barbecues in Charvil: gardens, clubs and local tips
Charvil is about 2 miles north of Woodley, in Wokingham. Charvil is well within our area for events. Charvil is one of 35 towns and villages in Wokingham where we cater.
A green space like Loddon Nature Reserve is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Churches such as St Patrick's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does.
Here we cover the RG10 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Old Bath Road, Wenlock Edge and Pipistrelle Way; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover events in Twyford (1 mile east), Ruscombe (1 mile east), Whistley Green (1 mile south-east), Woodley (2 miles south) and Shiplake (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Reading (4 miles south-west), Wokingham (5 miles south), Earley (4 miles south-west), Crowthorne (8 miles south-east), Lower Earley (4 miles south-west) and Winnersh (3 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Royal Berkshire Hospital (3.7 miles south-west) and Berkshire Medical Heritage Centre Museum (3.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Sonning Hill and South Lake.
- Nearby schools include Polehampton Church of England Infant School (0.9 miles east) and The Piggott School (1.1 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Wagon And Horses Public House (0.6 miles east)

What else we do in Charvil
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Request gluten-free rolls
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it where possible.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Charvil is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
