About our BBQ catering in East Shefford
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Popular choices include beef burgers, halloumi skewers and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and evening wedding food.

What happens on the day

FAQs for East Shefford
Which station is closest to East Shefford?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Is East Shefford too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in East Shefford. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you cater in East Shefford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, East Shefford and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
