Wendlebury: your questions answered
Is Wendlebury too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Wendlebury?
Bicester Village station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Wendlebury?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
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.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What do children generally eat?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.

A closer look at the menu
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Wendlebury need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Plates or china

- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time

- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage
