BBQ catering for Wood Street Village
BBQ catering in Wood Street Village, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, serving beef burgers, sausages and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Wood Street Village, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Wood Street Village
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

FAQs for Wood Street Village
Is Wood Street Village too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wood Street Village close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How many meats should we choose?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Can you cater in Wood Street Village?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Step by step
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains.

Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
