About our BBQ catering in Ewell
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. On the menu are coleslaw, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and club open days.
In Ewell, barbecues are booked for parties, work days and club events. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

- A spot well clear of buildings
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Ewell need a little planning: it is 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.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose the menu a week or so before
