Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Brookside: your questions answered
Is Brookside too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Brookside from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
