Common questions in Cold Harbour

What’s the nearest station to Cold Harbour?

The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 3.3 miles away.

How far is Cold Harbour from London?

About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

When should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

How do you handle food safety?

Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Can you barbecue in bad weather?

We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Do you clear up?

We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Can you cater in Cold Harbour?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.

Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Working with your venue

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

How to plan a catered barbecue

How the day works

We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in Cold Harbour need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Pick the menu with us.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
  4. On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
  • Gather dietary requirements early

Ask for a quote

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SL6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
