How the day works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Marston, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Marston barbecues: local tips
Marston is about 2 miles north of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Marston is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We bring barbecues to all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire.

We can cater an event on streets such as Back Lane, Mill Lane and Butts Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Marston
Do you come out to small places like Marston?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Marston from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
