About our BBQ catering in Albury
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For leaving parties and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Albury, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A clear way in from where we park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning a barbecue in Albury
Albury is about 4 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Albury is well within our area for events. We cover 395 places in Surrey.
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Chilworth station, roughly 1.3 miles west of the centre. Albury is within about 2 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
Wherever your event is in GU5, we can cook on site for your guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Weston Fields, Church Lane and Albury Street, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Albury Heath (1 mile south-east), Little London (1 mile south-east), Shere (1 mile east), Gomshall (2 miles east) and East Clandon (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (4 miles north-west), Woking (7 miles north-west), Camberley (13 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Horley (14 miles east) and Redhill (14 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Shere Museum (1.5 miles east) and Guildford Castle (3.4 miles west). Open spaces near Albury include Combe Bottom and Silent Pool.
- Local pubs include The Drummond Arms (within half a mile north-west)
Albury questions
What’s the nearest station to Albury?
Chilworth station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Albury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. At midsummer, it is light in Albury until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
