Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.

- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Site access

Enslow: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Enslow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Enslow?
The closest is Tackley station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
