Nuffield questions
Is Nuffield too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
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.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
