Waddesdon: your questions answered
How far is Waddesdon from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Waddesdon?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
How many meats should we choose?
Not normally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
