BBQ catering in Lewknor, cooked on site
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. For cricket, football and rugby club days and fundraising days, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef burgers and more.
Country barbecues near Lewknor are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Lewknor
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Lewknor questions
Is Lewknor too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Lewknor Church of England Primary School, frequently want a barbecue. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lewknor. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cater events across OX49 and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Weston Road and Lewknor Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite.
How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. Sunset in Lewknor is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
