Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
How our BBQ catering works in Farnborough

A summer barbecue at a club or school in Farnborough is a popular fundraiser, and the grill can go on the edge of the field or in the car park. Check the club or school is happy first. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

FAQs for Farnborough
Could you cook in Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Farnborough close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
How many meats should we choose?
Not normally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. At midsummer, it is light in Farnborough until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
