BBQ catering in Osney
What happens on the day
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. By late September, sunset in Osney is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

In a place like Osney, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
