About our BBQ catering in Drayton Beauchamp
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are frequently asked to cater family celebrations and close and cul-de-sac parties, with pulled pork, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Drayton Beauchamp, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Drayton Beauchamp
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements

Drayton Beauchamp: your questions answered
Is Drayton Beauchamp close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a barbecue in Tring Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
