Grendon Underwood: your questions answered

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Grendon Underwood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Grendon Underwood, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

How to prepare
