How our BBQ catering works in Chilton Foliat
In Chilton Foliat, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For summer parties in the garden and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook chicken skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs for your guests.
In a small place like Chilton Foliat, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

We cater 155 places in West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Chilton Foliat to Reading (about 24 miles away).

If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Hungerford station, roughly 1.7 miles south-east of the centre. Chilton Foliat is within about 6 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view.

Chilton Foliat questions
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Chilton Foliat?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you cater in Chilton Foliat?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Chilton Foliat and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
