How our BBQ catering works in Mousehill

Country barbecues near Mousehill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Mousehill
Could you cook in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Mousehill from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Why choose BBQ catering in Mousehill?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Six meats to choose from
