Farleigh barbecues: local tips
Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. We cover events in Farleigh, as well as the surrounding area. Farleigh is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Farleigh to London (about 12 miles away).
A green space like Ledgers Wood is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. For a fundraiser at a school like Meridian High School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school.
For events in CR6, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. That could mean an event in a garden on Farleigh Court Road and Old Farleigh Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Other places close to Farleigh we cover include Chelsham (1 mile south), Fickleshole (1 mile east), Forestdale (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile north-east) and Hamsey Green (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Epsom (10 miles west), Horley (12 miles south-west), Redhill (9 miles south-west), Ewell (10 miles west), Reigate (10 miles south-west) and Caterham (4 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Warlingham Park Hospital (0.6 miles south) and East Surrey Museum (3.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Nore Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.
How our BBQ catering works in Farleigh
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. On the menu are beef burgers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs, and we are often booked for big birthday parties and sports clubs and team events.
In a small place like Farleigh, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. A summer barbecue in Farleigh stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Farleigh
Do you come out to small places like Farleigh?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Farleigh?
The closest is Upper Warlingham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.

Before you choose a spot

What affects the price in Farleigh
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Travel to Farleigh
- The date and time of year
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose BBQ catering in Farleigh?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
