Common questions in Cowesfield Gate
Is Cowesfield Gate too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Cowesfield Gate?
The closest is Dean station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
