BBQ catering in Oakley
How our BBQ catering works in Oakley
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater summer staff days and street parties, serving halloumi skewers, pulled pork and sausages.
For a barbecue in Oakley, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Why choose BBQ catering in Oakley?
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Six meats to choose from

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the barbecue can go in Oakley
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot

Common questions in Oakley
How far is Oakley from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Oakley?
Overton station, about 3.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Oakley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
