Barbecues in Farncombe: gardens, clubs and local tips
Farncombe is about 4 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We cover events in Farncombe, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring barbecues to all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
If the day starts at a church like St John the Evangelist Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Thinking of a barbecue in Farncombe Wood? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Farncombe, 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.
Events anywhere in GU7 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Station Road, Old Station Road and Walnut Tree Gardens, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Farncombe
Is Farncombe close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In Farncombe, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about children’s numbers
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or GU7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
