How our BBQ catering works in Betchworth
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For birthdays and milestone parties and work barbecues, we can cook pulled pork, BBQ ribs and beef brisket for your guests.
Near Betchworth, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls, often with coleslaw.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
