Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Sunset in Horspath is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- Pick the menu with us.

- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Is Horspath close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.

Not generally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.

Why choose BBQ catering in Horspath?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
