FAQs for Penn Street
What’s the nearest station to Penn Street?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Should we have every meat?
Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
BBQ catering in Penn Street, cooked on site
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and leaving parties, with coleslaw, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Penn Street makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.

Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
