Wokingham questions
How far is Wokingham from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Wokingham?
Wokingham has its own station: Wokingham station.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Do you cover Wokingham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Wokingham. Send us the address for a quote.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with 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.

The process

- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
