About our BBQ catering in Maidenhead

The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. On the menu are coleslaw, halloumi skewers and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving parties and community fun days.

Sports clubs and schools around Maidenhead frequently host summer barbecues, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Check the club or school is happy first. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.

Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Travel to Maidenhead
  • Season and day of the week
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Whether you want china

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Details that help

To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:

  • Any venue rules
  • Allergies we should know about
  • The address or postcode
  • The date and time of the event

Send us the date, the address or SL6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

What comes off the grill

Sausages

Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.

Common questions in Maidenhead

Which station is closest to Maidenhead?

Maidenhead station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.

Is Maidenhead close to London?

About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.

How many meats should we choose?

Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can you cater in Maidenhead?

Yes, Maidenhead is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

What’s on your BBQ menu?

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.

A barbecue or other catering?

Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Why us?

  • Hot food straight off the grill
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • An itemised quote
  • Meat-free choices on every menu

Planners, venues and businesses

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

What happens on the day

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Evening barbecues in Maidenhead need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

  1. Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
  2. We check it and send a price.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. We serve as your guests come up.
  5. We clear up so you do not have to.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Ask for a quote

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
