BBQ catering in Woodcote, served hot
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and retirement do’s, serving beef brisket, beef burgers and BBQ ribs.
London gardens around Woodcote are frequently small and close to neighbours, so placing the grill so smoke clears the houses matters. A word with the neighbours beforehand always helps. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Where the barbecue can go in Woodcote

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
What you choose to eat matters most: 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.

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
