Your questions about a catered barbecue in Chilton
Is Chilton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Chilton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in Chilton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
