Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Cobham hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Add a hog roast alongside
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, and salads add freshness.
What happens on the day
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. A summer barbecue in Cobham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
