BBQ catering for your event in Colliers Green
For bigger events in Colliers Green, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. Whether it is garden parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef brisket and beef burgers.
In a small place like Colliers Green, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Colliers Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Colliers Green?
Marden station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.

How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Colliers Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
