A closer look at the menu
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Chicken skewers
Skewers are easy to serve and easy to eat, on a plate or in a roll.
The process
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Crosswater, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Common questions in Crosswater
Could you cook in The Flashes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
