How our BBQ catering works in Wash Water
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. For retirement do’s and charity fundraisers, we can cook beef burgers, coleslaw and pulled pork and more.
Country barbecues near Wash Water are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Wash Water: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wash Water?
Newbury station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Can you cater in Wash Water?
Yes, Wash Water is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why choose BBQ catering in Wash Water?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
