Whaddon: your questions answered
How far is Whaddon from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Whaddon too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. In Whaddon, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book our barbecue in Whaddon
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Timed around your day

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the barbecue can go in Whaddon
