How our BBQ catering works in Dorney Reach
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. We are often asked to cater charity fundraisers and informal weddings, serving halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.

How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Dorney Reach is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Include children in your numbers
- Gather dietary requirements early

Dorney Reach questions
What’s the nearest station to Dorney Reach?
Taplow station, about 1.1 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
About the food
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are often the highlight.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
