BBQ catering in Shenley, served hot
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for garden parties and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a small place like Shenley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Shenley, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

Shenley questions
What’s the nearest station to Shenley?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is Shenley 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.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

For event organisers in Shenley
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
