BBQ catering in Oakgrove, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We are frequently asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and street parties, with beef brisket, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs.
For a barbecue in Oakgrove, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Oakgrove: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Oakgrove?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
How far is Oakgrove from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
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.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Normally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to 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. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
