Hook Norton: your questions answered
How far is Hook Norton from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Hook Norton is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.

- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, often with coleslaw.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, and salads add freshness.
