Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Oxford questions
What’s the nearest station to Oxford?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How far is Oxford from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Should we have every meat?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we’ve agreed. Sunset in Oxford is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Oxford
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Oxford
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
