Common questions in Postcombe
Do you come out to small places like Postcombe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Request gluten-free rolls
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
