How our BBQ catering works in Ospringe
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. We will find the right spot at your venue in Ospringe. We are often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and cricket, football and rugby club days, with chicken skewers, beef brisket and pulled pork.
Around Ospringe, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Ospringe questions
Is Ospringe close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a barbecue in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
What do children generally eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. 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.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
Take a look at how we price and our barbecue menu ideas.
Step by step
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. At midsummer, it is light in Ospringe until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
