Great Milton: your questions answered
How far is Great Milton from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
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.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

What affects the price in Great Milton
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Great Milton hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

About the food
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
Space, access and the venue

- Parking near the grill
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. At midsummer, it is light in Great Milton until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
