A barbecue near North Oxford
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- A full barbecue menu
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Meat-free choices on every menu

About our BBQ catering in North Oxford
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff days and close and cul-de-sac parties, with coleslaw, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
In a place like North Oxford, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in North Oxford, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- 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.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
