What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Rough numbers
  • Any dietary needs or allergies

Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options
  • Tell us if anyone does not eat beef

We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Plastow Green: your questions answered

Is Plastow Green too small for a barbecue?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What’s the nearest station to Plastow Green?

Thatcham station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.

Is there anything for vegans?

We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.

Can we have a barbecue in winter?

The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Is the meat halal?

No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Do you provide china?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Will you clear up afterwards?

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Is the barbecue cooked on site?

Yes, on site at your venue in Plastow Green. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. 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.

How to plan a catered barbecue

The process

Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. In Plastow Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Choose your meats and sides.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
  4. We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming

Ask for a quote

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
