Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Speen hosts choose us
- Six meats to choose from

The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Speen, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Speen: your questions answered
Is Speen close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Speen?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Plan shelter for your guests.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
The menu, dish by dish
