Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hardwick
Is Hardwick too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hardwick close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you cover Hardwick?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.

Planning a barbecue in Hardwick
Hardwick is about 3 miles south-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Hardwick and the surrounding area are covered for events. Hardwick is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Hardwick to Oxford (about 9 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Events anywhere in OX29 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Hardwick is on the B4449, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Other places close to Hardwick we cover include Brighthampton (2 miles south), Ducklington (2 miles north-west), Standlake (2 miles south-east), High Cogges (2 miles north) and South Leigh (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (9 miles east), Didcot (13 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (9 miles south-east), Witney (3 miles north-west), Carterton (6 miles west) and Wantage (11 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Hinton Waldrist Castle (4.2 miles south) and Cogges Manor Farm Museum (2.6 miles north-west).
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat.

- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
The menu makes a big difference to the price: 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.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
