How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. In Emmington, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Common questions in Emmington
Is Emmington too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you come to Emmington?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Why choose BBQ catering in Emmington?

For event organisers in Emmington
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
