BBQ catering in Cudworth, cooked on site
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and club open days, serving coleslaw, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Cudworth, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Cudworth, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Think about where the smoke will drift

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Cudworth. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

A catered BBQ in Cudworth: what to know
Cudworth is about 4 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Cudworth? We can help. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Cudworth to Guildford (15 miles away).
A green space like Newdigate Brickworks is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Coming by train? The closest railway station is Holmwood station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west of the centre. Cudworth is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
Wherever your event is in RH5, we can bring the barbecue to you. Local streets include Cudworth Park, The Poplars and Burnt Oak Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.
