Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
BBQ catering for your event in Epsom
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we will confirm it. Whether it’s fundraising days and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, beef brisket and beef burgers.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Epsom all suit a catered barbecue. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Common questions in Epsom
How far is Epsom from London?
About 14 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Epsom?
Epsom has its own station: Epsom station.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
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, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on site by our chef
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

Before you choose a spot

- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee

- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
