BBQ catering in Charlwood, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We serve pulled pork, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for engagement and anniversary parties and leaving parties.
Country barbecues near Charlwood are hard to beat on a summer evening. 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.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space for our vehicle nearby

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Charlwood hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Charlwood questions
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Charlwood from London?
About 24 miles from central London.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Planning a barbecue in Charlwood
Charlwood is about 3 miles south-west of Horley, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Charlwood for events. Charlwood is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Charlwood to Guildford (16 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Ifield station, about 2.8 miles south. After a christening at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Charlwood is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We cater events across the RH6 postcode area. That could mean an event in a garden on The Street, Yew Tree Road and Rectory Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
What BBQ catering costs

- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Charlwood
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
