BBQ catering in Shutford, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. On the menu are beef burgers, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and we’re frequently booked for team days and staff summer parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Shutford, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Shutford
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Hot food straight off the grill
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal

Questions from Shutford
Which station is closest to Shutford?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
How far is Shutford from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
For event organisers in Shutford
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
