Sandford-on-Thames: your questions answered
Is Sandford-on-Thames too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Sandford-on-Thames close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can you cater in Sandford-on-Thames?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Sandford-on-Thames and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Sandford-on-Thames, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
