Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Questions from Watermead
Is Watermead close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Watermead?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you cover Watermead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Watermead and Buckinghamshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Planning a barbecue in Watermead
Watermead is about 1 mile north of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Watermead? We cover the whole area. Watermead is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Watermead to Milton Keynes (about 14 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Louis Catholic Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. Churches such as Church of St James rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Watermead, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Events anywhere in HP19, HP20 and HP22 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and a serving time.
