A catered BBQ in Barford: what to know
Barford is about 4 miles east of Bordon, in Surrey. Events in Barford are part of our patch. Barford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Barford to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
Churches such as St John the Evangelist rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. A green space like The Flashes is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Barford, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Anywhere in GU10 and GU26, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a house on Churt Road, Kitts Lane and Hammer Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Whitmoor Vale (1 mile south-east), Churt (1 mile north), Green Cross (1 mile north-east), Beacon Hill (1 mile east) and Crosswater (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Guildford (12 miles north-east), Camberley (14 miles north), Farnham (6 miles north), Frimley (13 miles north), Haslemere (4 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (13 miles east).
A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (3.8 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Gibbet Hill and Upper Lake.
- Nearby, you’ll find Crossways Inn (0.6 miles north)
How our BBQ catering works in Barford
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. We are frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and leaving parties, serving halloumi skewers, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Near Barford, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Our chef grills beef burgers to order, straight from the grill to the bun.
Sausages
Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Questions from Barford
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in The Flashes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. In Barford, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
