Common questions in Ramsden
What’s the nearest station to Ramsden?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Ramsden from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Ramsden, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.

- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive

Why choose BBQ catering in Ramsden?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book our barbecue in Ramsden
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

How we price a catered barbecue

- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
