How our BBQ catering works in Pyrton
Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. We serve halloumi skewers, pulled pork and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and family celebrations.
In a small place like Pyrton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Pyrton: your questions answered
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 will follow the site rules.
How far is Pyrton from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Do you come to Pyrton?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space for our vehicle nearby

The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Pyrton, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
