About our BBQ catering in Henton
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For birthdays and milestone parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and pulled pork for your guests.
Near Henton, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Henton
Which station is closest to Henton?
Princes Risborough station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
How far is Henton from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
Beef burgers
Our chef grills beef burgers to order, hot off the barbecue.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
