Common questions in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Do you come out to small places like Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hurstbourne Tarrant from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Hurstbourne Tarrant, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
