How our BBQ catering works in Kingston Lisle
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. On the menu are pulled pork, beef brisket and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Kingston Lisle, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. At midsummer, it is light in Kingston Lisle until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about where the smoke will drift

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the grill
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A spot well clear of buildings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Kingston Lisle
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Kingston Lisle?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Use our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
