Your questions about a catered barbecue in Murcott
Do you come out to small places like Murcott?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Murcott?
Islip station, about 3.7 miles west of the centre.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask which items contain gluten
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
