BBQ catering in Upper Brailes, cooked on site
In Upper Brailes, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Whether it’s street parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can cook beef burgers, beef brisket and chicken skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Upper Brailes, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Upper Brailes questions
Do you come out to small places like Upper Brailes?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you cover Upper Brailes?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
