Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
