BBQ catering for Oldbury
BBQ catering for your event in Oldbury
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Whether it’s charity fundraisers and cricket, football and rugby club days, we will put together a menu of sausages, halloumi skewers and pulled pork for your guests.
In a small place like Oldbury, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Oldbury
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
For event organisers in Oldbury
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Oldbury until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
