Brockham questions
Can you do a barbecue in Brockham Limeworks?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Brockham?
Betchworth station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
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.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
BBQ catering in Brockham, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it is relaxed weddings and evening receptions and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook coleslaw, pulled pork and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Brockham makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Planned to your running order
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- An itemised quote

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
