How our BBQ catering works in Englefield Green
A good barbecue is about more 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’re frequently asked to cater community fun days and fundraising barbecues, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
For a barbecue in Englefield Green, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Englefield Green: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Englefield Green?
Egham station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
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.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Englefield Green hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Hot food straight off the grill
- An itemised quote
See our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. At midsummer, it is light in Englefield Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Include children in your numbers
- Choose the menu a week or so before
