Questions from Tilehurst
What’s the nearest station to Tilehurst?
The closest is Tilehurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you cook in Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
What affects the price in Tilehurst
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
