BBQ catering for your event in Congelow
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. Whether it’s family celebrations and close and cul-de-sac parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Congelow makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Congelow, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.

Planning help
For event organisers in Congelow
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Common questions in Congelow
Is Congelow close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Congelow?
Yalding station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What do children usually eat?
Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
