A summer barbecue at a club or school in Ashtead is a popular fundraiser, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Check the club or school is happy first. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

What affects the price in Ashtead
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. In Ashtead, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear 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 clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
Getting a price
