About our BBQ catering in Cobham
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and birthdays and milestone parties, with beef burgers, coleslaw and pulled pork.
In a place like Cobham, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

For a fundraiser at a school like St Andrew's CofE Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Parks such as West End Common often have rules on barbecues, so check with the council or landowner first. Cobham 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.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A clear way in from where we park

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
See our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
FAQs for Cobham
What’s the nearest station to Cobham?
Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in West End Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.

We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Autumn and winter barbecues in Cobham get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
