Your questions about a catered barbecue in Birtley Green
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Birtley Green get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
