About our BBQ catering in Tudeley
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve chicken skewers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for club open days and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Country barbecues near Tudeley are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Common questions in Tudeley
Do you come out to small places like Tudeley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Tudeley close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. For an evening barbecue in Tudeley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
