The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from West Itchenor
How far is West Itchenor from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is West Itchenor 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.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
