About our BBQ catering in Grove
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Grove and we’ll check it works. Whether it is sports clubs and team events and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook sausages, pulled pork and beef burgers and more.
In a place like Grove, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Grove need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Grove questions
How far is Grove from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Can you do a barbecue in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Planning a barbecue in Grove
Grove is about 8 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. We cover Grove and its neighbours for events. We cover 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 13 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Millbrook Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. After a christening at a church such as St. John the Baptist, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Anywhere in OX12, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event in a garden on Millbrook Square, Main Street and Station Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover events in Denchworth (1 mile north-west), West Hanney (2 miles north), Lyford (3 miles north), Goosey (3 miles west) and Charney Bassett (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Oxford (13 miles north-east), Didcot (8 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles north-east), Witney (13 miles north), Carterton (13 miles north-west) and Faringdon (8 miles north-west).

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. 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.
