A barbecue near Ibstone
How our BBQ catering works in Ibstone
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Ibstone: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Ibstone makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Planning a barbecue in Ibstone
Ibstone is about 7 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Ibstone is well within our area for events. Ibstone is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Ibstone to Reading (about 13 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Ibstone CofE Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. Within reach of Ibstone are historic houses such as Stonor Park (3 miles south) and West Wycombe Park House (4.8 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Ibstone is within about 2 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Here we cover the HP14 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What comes off the grill

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Ibstone, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
