For event organisers in Crowmarsh Gifford
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
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.
Crowmarsh Gifford questions
Can you do a barbecue in Howbery Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Crowmarsh Gifford too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
