Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask which items contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book with us
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our staff serve and clear
- Six meats to choose from

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Penn
How far is Penn from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Penn?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. At midsummer, it is light in Penn until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
