starkiwi Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Dear fellow members, I saw Oxford, Port Meadow Godstow Car Park has a few tables for picnic, but when I asked Oxford council, they said no BBQ is allowed because Port Meadow is is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the European Habitats Directive. My house didnt have a good spot to have BBQ, could fellow members please recommend a good spot for BBQ please? I didn't want to break any rule or to offend any, and I will take good care of fire during BBQ. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi starkiwi, welcome to the forum. Can't help you with any sites in Oxfordshire personally. But as a bit of a long shot, it might be worth giving The Oxford Charcoal Company based in Witney a ring and see if they can give you any places that might allow it?

Have you considered going camping for the weekend, just check with the people running the site about BBQs, make sure they are aware that you will not damage the grass. Interestingly a farm shop near me (in Kent) has started offering a private BBQ cooking area, they have an onsite butcher, toilets, farm shops and loads of good drink.
