About our BBQ catering in Tilford Reeds
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. We serve beef burgers, pulled pork and chicken skewers, and we are often booked for charity fundraisers and informal weddings.
Country barbecues near Tilford Reeds are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Allergies we should know about

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. At midsummer, it is light in Tilford Reeds until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
