About our BBQ catering in Banstead
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving coleslaw, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
In a place like Banstead, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
