About our BBQ catering in Newington
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We serve beef brisket, coleslaw and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for back-garden get-togethers and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Newington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Questions from Newington
Is Newington close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Is Newington too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you cover Newington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Newington and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Timed around your day

- The date and time of year

How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Newington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
