About our BBQ catering in Brogdale
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and cricket, football and rugby club days, with chicken skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
Near Brogdale, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Brogdale get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Brogdale questions
Is Brogdale close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Is Brogdale too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
