BBQ catering in Oakshott, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. On the menu are BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and beef brisket, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and street parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Oakshott makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. At midsummer, it’s light in Oakshott until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

Oakshott: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the meat halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
