BBQ catering for Shipton Green

How the day works

On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. By late September, sunset in Shipton Green is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

  1. Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
  3. We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
  4. Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How to get 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: send us your details through our quote form.

How our BBQ catering works in Shipton Green

BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Shipton Green, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are sausages, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and summer parties in the garden.

Country barbecues near Shipton Green are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

What we serve, dish by dish

Chicken skewers

Skewers are easy to serve and easy to eat, on a plate or in a roll.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Choose from salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Add a dietary question to the invitation
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled

The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How we price a catered barbecue

Things that change the price:

  • Whether you want china
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Site access
  • Numbers

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The address or postcode
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Any venue rules
  • An estimate of numbers

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:

  • Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
  • A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
  • A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

A barbecue or other catering?

Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Why Shipton Green hosts choose us

  • An itemised quote
  • Meat-free choices on every menu
  • Hot food straight off the grill
  • Six meats to choose from

Common questions in Shipton Green

Is Shipton Green close to London?

Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Is Shipton Green too small for a barbecue?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What happens after service?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Can you do halal?

No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Can it be a sit-down meal?

Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.

Should we have every meat?

Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.

Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?

Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

Do you provide china?

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
