A barbecue near Cowfold
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Questions from Cowfold
Is Cowfold close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Cowfold?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Cowfold get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
