About our BBQ catering in Sprig's Alley
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. On the menu are beef brisket, coleslaw and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for cricket, football and rugby club days and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Sprig's Alley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

A closer look at the menu
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Sprig's Alley questions
Which station is closest to Sprig's Alley?
Saunderton station, about 2.9 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Is a barbecue good for children?

Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the meat halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Sprig's Alley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our chef at the grill, not you
