The process
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. Autumn and winter barbecues in Chilworth Old Village get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Include children in your numbers

Planning help
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal

Common questions in Chilworth Old Village

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Chilworth Old Village from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What do children normally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
For event organisers in Chilworth Old Village
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
