Waterside: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Waterside?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Waterside from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
About our BBQ catering in Waterside
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs for your guests.
Country barbecues near Waterside are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Waterside barbecues: local tips
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Events in Waterside are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring barbecues to all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Waterside to Reading (about 24 miles away).
Churches such as Christ Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. Among the historic houses close to Waterside are Chenies Manor House (3.4 miles south-east) and Cholesbury Manor House (4.6 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Waterside is within about 5 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Here we cover the HP5 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on Moor Road, Trapp's Lane and Hodds Wood Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. We also bring barbecues to events in Chesham Bois (1 mile south), Amersham (1 mile south), Amersham on the Hill (2 miles south), Hyde Heath (2 miles west) and Woodrow (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Aylesbury (12 miles north-west), High Wycombe (8 miles south-west), Marlow (11 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (6 miles south), Chalfont St Peter (7 miles south) and Elmhurst (13 miles north-west).

What comes off the grill
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Waterside hosts choose us
- Timed around your day

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
