BBQ catering for your event in Ash
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We’re frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and evening wedding food, serving halloumi skewers, beef burgers and beef brisket.
In a place like Ash, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What BBQ catering costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Jacket potatoes
- Beef brisket
- Pulled pork
- Chicken skewers
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Sausages
- Salads
- New potatoes
- BBQ ribs
- Beef burgers
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Ash
Can you do a barbecue in Aldershot Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Ash close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
