Barbecue venues around Dadford
Dadford is about 4 miles north-west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Planning a catered barbecue in Dadford? We cover the whole area. We bring barbecues to 263 places across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Dadford to Milton Keynes (11 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as Parish Church of St Mary, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Thinking of a barbecue in Stowe Park and Garden? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s.
Events anywhere in MK18 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and roughly how many guests. Local streets include High Street and North Hill; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring barbecues to events in Shalstone (2 miles south-west), Chackmore (2 miles south-east), Water Stratford (3 miles south-west) and Radclive (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Buckingham (4 miles south-east), Winslow (9 miles south-east), Steeple Claydon (7 miles south), Tingewick (4 miles south), Whitchurch (14 miles south-east) and Quainton (12 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find The Menagerie (0.8 miles south-east) and Buckingham Castle (3.4 miles south-east). Open spaces near Dadford include Buckingham Sand Pit.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Dadford stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
