BBQ catering in Oving, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. Typical bookings include family celebrations and school fairs and summer fêtes, with halloumi skewers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs.
Country barbecues near Oving are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.
What do children normally eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Is crockery included?

Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.

Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Evening barbecues in Oving need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Think about where the smoke will drift
