About our BBQ catering in Stoke
For bigger events in Stoke, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Typical bookings include team days and staff summer parties and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving halloumi skewers, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Stoke are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. Sunset in Stoke is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Getting ready for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

Common questions in Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Stoke from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the grill
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
