Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Dora's Green hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Six meats to choose from
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Questions from Dora's Green
How far is Dora's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Farnham station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do children generally eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it is light in Dora's Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
