How our BBQ catering works in Shipton Bellinger
Barbecue food is sociable food: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Shipton Bellinger, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and sports days and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.
In a small place like Shipton Bellinger, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A clear way in from where we park
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
