Your questions about a catered barbecue in Uplees
Could you cook in Oare Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Uplees from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why Uplees hosts choose us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order

What else we do in Uplees
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. Autumn and winter barbecues in Uplees get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
