Event catering in Banbury, cooked on site
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. Plenty of events in Banbury have both, and we’ll help you decide. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for staff days and client events and christmas parties.
Caterers in Banbury get asked for all sorts, and we’re no different: hog roast or BBQ, depending on the occasion. We just need somewhere level outside. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
How we price your catering
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with a traditional caterer, our food is hearty and informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
