How our BBQ catering works in Water Eaton
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it’s back-garden get-togethers and sports clubs and team events, we will put together a menu of sausages, halloumi skewers and beef burgers for your guests.
In a place like Water Eaton, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening barbecues in Water Eaton need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

What’s the nearest station to Water Eaton?

Is Water Eaton close to London?

Do you leave the area tidy?

Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Water Eaton. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
