BBQ catering in Wheatley, cooked on site
Some hosts in Wheatley pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving beef burgers, sausages and coleslaw.
In a place like Wheatley, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Wheatley
How far is Wheatley from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
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.
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.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in Wheatley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose the menu a week or so before

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
