Churches such as Church of St Nicholas rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. If you had Fir Tree Copse in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks.

About the food

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Alfold Bars until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
