Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Step by step
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 Oakfield, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

The sea is within about a mile of Oakfield, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
