About our BBQ catering in The Village
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. We serve beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw, and we are often booked for evening wedding food and street parties.
In a small place like The Village, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book our barbecue in The Village

The Village barbecues: local tips
The Village is about 2 miles south of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We cover The Village and its neighbours for events. The Village is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 14 miles away.
Parks such as Windsor Great Park frequently have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. Nearby historic houses include St Leonard's Hill (1.7 miles north) and Frogmore House (2.8 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early.
Anywhere in SL4, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Sheet Street Road and Forest Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Cranbourne (1 mile west), Woodside (1 mile south-west), Plaistow Green (2 miles west), Cheapside (2 miles south) and Brookside (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidenhead (7 miles north-west), Boyn Hill (6 miles north-west), North Ascot (3 miles south-west), Cookham (9 miles north-west), Furze Platt (8 miles north-west) and Broomhall (4 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Windsor Castle (3.1 miles north-east) and King Edward VII Hospital (2.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Bray Pit and Virginia Water Lake.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

FAQs for The Village
Could you cook in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is The Village from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in The Village get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
