About our BBQ catering in Blindley Heath

A barbecue in the countryside near Blindley Heath makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or RH7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What happens on the day
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Evening barbecues in Blindley Heath need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.

For event organisers in Blindley Heath
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
