How our BBQ catering works in Longworth
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. For neighbourhood parties and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers and more.
In a small place like Longworth, 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 the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Longworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Longworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Longworth close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.

How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Longworth get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark

Barbecues in Longworth: gardens, clubs and local tips
Longworth is about 7 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Longworth? We can help. Longworth is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Longworth to Oxford (about 10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Longworth House (under half a mile west) and Appleton Manor (3.6 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. After a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
We cover events in every part of the OX13 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Bowbank and Rectory Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hinton Waldrist (1 mile west), Kingston Bagpuize (1 mile south-east), Pusey (3 miles south-west), Charney Bassett (3 miles south) and Lyford (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Oxford (10 miles north-east), Didcot (10 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles east), Witney (7 miles north), Carterton (8 miles north-west) and Wantage (7 miles south).

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
