BBQ catering for Cheriton
How our BBQ catering works in Cheriton
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We are frequently asked to cater big birthday parties and informal weddings, with sausages, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Cheriton are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Questions from Cheriton
How far is Cheriton from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Cheriton 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.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
What does the venue need to provide?
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.
Do you cover Cheriton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
