BBQ catering in Pangbourne, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Popular choices include beef burgers, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and leaving and retirement parties.
Around Pangbourne, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How we price a catered barbecue

- The number of people
- Distance from us
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. By late September, sunset in Pangbourne is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
