Common questions in Brands Hill
Which station is closest to Brands Hill?
The closest is Sunnymeads station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. A summer barbecue in Brands Hill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
