FAQs for Woodend
Is Woodend close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Woodend?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
BBQ catering in Woodend, cooked on site
For bigger events in Woodend, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we will quote for both. Typical bookings include fundraising barbecues and team days and staff summer parties, serving sausages, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Woodend 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. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in Woodend need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
