The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. By late September, sunset in Shilton is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming

Planning help
Where the barbecue can go in Shilton
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Shilton
Do you come out to small places like Shilton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Shilton from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
