Common questions in Cuddesdon
How far is Cuddesdon from London?

Is Cuddesdon too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you cover Cuddesdon?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. By late September, sunset in Cuddesdon is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- We serve as people come up.

About the food
Beef brisket

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For event organisers in Cuddesdon
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
