BBQ catering in Ellesborough, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve sausages, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for team days and staff summer parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Ellesborough makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Meat-free choices on every menu

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Ellesborough, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
