BBQ catering in Long Wittenham, served hot

There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and evening wedding food.

Country barbecues near Long Wittenham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Within reach of Long Wittenham are historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (1.2 miles north) and Brightwell Manor (2.7 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Coming by train? The nearest station is Appleford station, about 1.3 miles west.

Anywhere in OX14, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as High Street, Didcot Road and Wessex Way or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue.

Prices and what affects them

We work out each quote from:

  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Whether you want china
  • Numbers
  • Site access

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.

Details that help

When you get in touch, it helps to include:

  • Your date and serving time
  • An estimate of numbers
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the event is

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Why book our barbecue in Long Wittenham

  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Six meats to choose from
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to
  • A choice of salads and potatoes

See our pricing or BBQ menu ideas.

What happens on the day

We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it is light in Long Wittenham until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

  1. Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
  2. Choose your meats and sides.
  3. We check the space and quote.
  4. On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

  • Send final numbers in good time
