Common questions in Cliddesden
Could you cook in Hackwood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Cliddesden close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Cliddesden. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
