Waterend: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Waterend?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Waterend?
Saunderton station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.

What else we do in Waterend
What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
