How our BBQ catering works in Newbury
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Newbury: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Popular choices include BBQ ribs, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and leaving parties.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Newbury, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. All we need is a level spot with clearance. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Newbury questions
Can you do a barbecue in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Newbury close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you come to Newbury?
Yes, Newbury is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What do children normally eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to 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 for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
