BBQ catering for your event in East Clandon
For bigger events in East Clandon, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, coleslaw and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and work barbecues.
In a small place like East Clandon, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Our staff serve and clear

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
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.
How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Autumn and winter barbecues in East Clandon get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Include children in your numbers
- Choose the menu a week or so before
