FAQs for Eton
Can you do a barbecue in The Goswells?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Eton close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you cover Eton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Eton and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
