How our BBQ catering works in Farnham
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Farnham, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We are often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and fundraising days, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Farnham all suit a catered barbecue. Wherever it is, there needs to be an outdoor spot to cook. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

About the food
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

What affects the price in Farnham
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Farnham
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or GU9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Farnham, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
