About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is 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 Ringlestone, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.

Questions from Ringlestone
How far is Ringlestone from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Whatman Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Can you cater in Ringlestone?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
