BBQ catering in Sandleford, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it’s summer staff days and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs for your guests.
In a small place like Sandleford, 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’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Questions from Sandleford
How far is Sandleford from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Sandleford?
Newbury station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Do you cover Sandleford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Sandleford and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?

What do children normally eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Evening barbecues in Sandleford need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming

Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
