Where the barbecue can go in Esher

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. At midsummer, it’s light in Esher until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
