Common questions in Great Linford
Can you do a barbecue in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Great Linford?
The closest is Wolverton station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Great Linford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- 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.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Include children in your numbers

Organising for someone else?
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.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What the cooking area needs
