About our BBQ catering in Coombe
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include pulled pork, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving parties and evening wedding food.
Country barbecues near Coombe are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Coombe questions
Do you come out to small places like Coombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Coombe close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How many meats should we choose?
Not generally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

The process
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Coombe until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Planned to your running order
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
