BBQ catering in Baldslow, cooked on site

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 serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and sausages, and we are often booked for summer parties in the garden and charity fundraisers.

In a small place like Baldslow, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

A closer look at the menu

Chicken skewers

Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it’s hot all the way through.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.

Planning the cooking spot

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A level lawn, patio or hard standing
  • A spot well clear of buildings
  • Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Baldslow questions

Could you cook in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

Is Baldslow close to London?

About 51 miles from central London.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Will you clear up afterwards?

We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.

What do you need from the venue?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.

Can it be a sit-down meal?

Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.

Do you provide china?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Is there anything for vegans?

Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.

Step by step

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Baldslow stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. You get a suggested menu and a price.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. Hot food is served through the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

The price comes down to:

  • The number of people
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Plates or china

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’ll suggest a menu.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What you get with us

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
  • A full barbecue menu
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Take a look at our pricing and BBQ menu ideas.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options
  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Mention any guests who avoid beef
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

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.
