About our BBQ catering in Willen
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. For back-garden get-togethers and big birthday parties, we can cook beef burgers, coleslaw and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Willen makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Willen until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Willen
Which station is closest to Willen?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 3.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Willen?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Willen?
Yes, Willen is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Hot food straight off the grill

- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
