The process
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Upper Winchendon, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Let us know about children’s numbers

Upper Winchendon questions
Is Upper Winchendon too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Upper Winchendon close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you come to Upper Winchendon?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Comparing caterers
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- What crockery is supplied
- Whether VAT is included
- Any travel or access charges
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
