A barbecue near Wolvercote
The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Wolvercote get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Include children in your numbers
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

BBQ catering in Wolvercote, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For street parties and cricket, football and rugby club days, we can cook beef brisket, halloumi skewers and beef burgers for your guests.
Country barbecues near Wolvercote are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
