Barbecue venues around Fairlands

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Worplesdon Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. After a christening at a church such as St Alban's Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Fairlands, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
Here we cover the GU3 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it.

For event organisers in Fairlands

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
The process
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. By late September, sunset in Fairlands is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- 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 clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Include children in your numbers
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
