About our BBQ catering in Winterbourne
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and garden parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Winterbourne makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Our chef at the grill, not you

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Winterbourne
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A clear way in from where we park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Winterbourne stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.

Planning help
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Winterbourne questions
Is Winterbourne too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
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.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
