Your questions about a catered barbecue in Earlswood
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Earlswood?
Earlswood (Surrey) station, in Earlswood itself.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
