FAQs for Upton
Which station is closest to Upton?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Upton get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
