FAQs for Iffley
Is Iffley close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a barbecue in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
