About our BBQ catering in Farnham Common
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. On the menu are sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we are regularly asked to cater community fun days and engagement and anniversary parties.
Near Farnham Common, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:

- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
