About the food
Beef burgers

Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
BBQ catering in Cramhurst, served hot
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. On the menu are sausages, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater community fun days and informal weddings.
Country barbecues near Cramhurst are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Planning a barbecue in Cramhurst
Cramhurst is about 7 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We cover Cramhurst and its neighbours for events. Cramhurst is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Cramhurst to Guildford (7 miles away).
Thinking of a barbecue in Rodborough Common? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. After a christening at a church such as St John the Evangelist's Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Cramhurst. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in GU8, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Merryacres, Martins Wood and Cramhurst Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. We also bring barbecues to events in Witley (1 mile south), Mousehill (1 mile north), Ockford Ridge (1 mile east), Milford (1 mile north) and Enton Green (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (7 miles north-east), Woking (11 miles north), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (7 miles north-west), Dorking (15 miles east) and Frimley (11 miles north).
A little further out are Godalming Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Milford Hospital (1.3 miles east). The countryside around Cramhurst includes Hydon's Ball and Farncombe Wood.

For event organisers in Cramhurst

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. At midsummer, it’s light in Cramhurst until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.

- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
