Your questions about a catered barbecue in Shenington
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you come to Shenington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shenington and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. In Shenington, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:

- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
