How our BBQ catering works in Goose Hill
For bigger events in Goose Hill, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. For back-garden get-togethers and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Goose Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Goose Hill questions
Is Goose Hill too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Goose Hill?
Thatcham station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
What do children normally eat?
Generally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.

A closer look at the menu

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. In Goose Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with 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 set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
