How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Yarnton, think about light: it is light until about 9:30pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. 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 where the smoke will drift
- Include children in your numbers
- Confirm your menu choices in good time

BBQ catering in Yarnton, served hot

Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and fundraising barbecues, with halloumi skewers, sausages and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Yarnton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Is Yarnton close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Yarnton?

Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.

Do you cook the barbecue on site?

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Yarnton
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- 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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
