BBQ Catering in Rowstock

Rowstock barbecues: local tips

Rowstock is about 3 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Rowstock and the surrounding area are covered for events. We cater 443 places across Oxfordshire. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 11 miles away.

After a christening at a church such as Church of St Matthew, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If guests are travelling by rail, Didcot Parkway station, about 3 miles east, is the nearest station. Rowstock is within about 7 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

For events in OX11, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Tudor Walk, Wantage Road and Reading Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Nearby, we also cater events in East Hendred (1 mile west), West Hendred (2 miles west), Ardington (3 miles west), East Lockinge (3 miles west) and West Ilsley (4 miles south). Larger places within reach include Oxford (11 miles north), Didcot (3 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (5 miles north), Witney (15 miles north-west), Wantage (5 miles west) and Grove (5 miles west).

A little further out are Atlas Computer Laboratory (1.7 miles south) and Abingdon Community Hospital (4.9 miles north). Within reach you will find Mowbray Fields and Churn Hill.

Organising for someone else?

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

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