How our BBQ catering works in Durfold Wood
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include beef brisket, pulled pork and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and club open days.
A barbecue in the countryside near Durfold Wood makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Allergies and 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
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Common questions in Durfold Wood
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Durfold Wood too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in Durfold Wood need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about where the smoke will drift

BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
