BBQ catering in Witney, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve beef burgers, BBQ ribs and sausages, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and team events and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Sports clubs and schools around Witney often host summer barbecues, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Check the club or school is happy first. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
