  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Take a look at our pricing and our barbecue menu ideas.

A closer look at the menu

BBQ ribs

BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table; have napkins ready.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What BBQ catering costs

The price comes down to:

  • Access to the cooking area
  • Distance from us
  • The number of people
  • Season and day of the week

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Any venue rules
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Roughly how many people

Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Questions from Shefford Woodlands

Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Which station is closest to Shefford Woodlands?

The closest is Hungerford station, roughly 3.3 miles away.

Is the meat halal?

We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Is the barbecue cooked on site?

Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Do you cater for vegetarians?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.

Is crockery included?

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Is a barbecue good for children?

Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

Do you come to Shefford Woodlands?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shefford Woodlands and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

Allergies and dietary needs

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What happens on the day

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Shefford Woodlands stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
  4. We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
