The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Shurlock Row: your questions answered
How far is Shurlock Row from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Shurlock Row?
Twyford station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
