About our BBQ catering in York Town
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Popular choices include beef burgers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and charity fundraisers.
Barbecues around York Town are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for York Town
What’s the nearest station to York Town?
The closest is Camberley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you cook in Tekels Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in York Town. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How many meats should we choose?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. Evening barbecues in York Town need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
