About our BBQ catering in Lavendon
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. On the menu are coleslaw, pulled pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and leaving parties.
In a small place like Lavendon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Lavendon barbecues: local tips
Lavendon is about 7 miles north-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. We cover events in Lavendon. We cater all 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 10 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Lavendon School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Churches such as Church of St Michael rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does.
For events in MK46, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include High Street, Rectory Orchard and Orchard Walk, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. If your venue is just outside Lavendon, we also cover Cold Brayfield (1 mile south-east) and Clifton Reynes (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Milton Keynes (10 miles south-west), Bletchley (13 miles south), Newport Pagnell (7 miles south-west), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (13 miles south), Furzton (12 miles south) and Whitehouse (12 miles south-west).
A little further out are Odell Castle (4.1 miles north-east). Open spaces near Lavendon include Pavenham Osier Beds.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Evening barbecues in Lavendon need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What BBQ catering costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
