How our BBQ catering works in Dinton
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. For street parties and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Dinton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Dinton, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Questions from Dinton
Is Dinton too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dinton close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
What do children normally eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
