BBQ catering in Inkpen Common, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Inkpen Common: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re often asked to cater birthdays and milestone parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, with beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near Inkpen Common makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Inkpen Common
Is Inkpen Common too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Inkpen Common?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2 miles away.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
