Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.

Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Kingwood Common

Do you come out to small places like Kingwood Common?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What’s the nearest station to Kingwood Common?

The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.1 miles away.

How much choice do we need?

Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

Can it be a sit-down meal?

Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.

What does the venue need to provide?

Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.

Is there anything for vegans?

We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?

Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Is the food cooked safely?

Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

For event organisers in Kingwood Common

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Why Kingwood Common hosts choose us

  • Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
  • Add a hog roast alongside

  1. Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
  2. We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
  3. We set up under cover before service.
  4. Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Getting ready for the day
