About our BBQ catering in Wichling
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. On the menu are chicken skewers, beef brisket and pulled pork, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and work barbecues.
Near Wichling, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. For an evening barbecue in Wichling, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Wichling
How far is Wichling from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Wichling too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
What affects the price in Wichling
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
