Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.

For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

A catered BBQ in Great Haseley: what to know

PTAs at schools such as Great Milton Church of England Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Garsington Manor (3.5 miles west) and Adwell House (3.8 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Great Haseley is within about 8 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

We cater events across OX44. Local streets include Rectory Road, Horse Close Cottages and Back Way; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Great Haseley questions

Is Great Haseley too small for a barbecue?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Is Great Haseley close to London?

About 45 miles from central London.

Is the food cooked safely?

That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

How soon do barbecue dates go?

Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Can it be a sit-down meal?

Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Why book our barbecue in Great Haseley

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Timed around your day
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to
  • Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more

Read how we price and our barbecue menu ideas.

What we serve, dish by dish

Chicken skewers

Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Our BBQ planning guide

How we price a catered barbecue

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:

  • Numbers
  • Whether you want china
  • Season and day of the week
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

What to tell us

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Anything the venue has asked for
  • Rough numbers

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Great Haseley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Choose your meats and sides.
  3. We check the space and quote.
  4. On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Getting a price

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX44 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
