About our BBQ catering in Fern
Some hosts in Fern pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and beef brisket.
In a small place like Fern, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
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. For an evening barbecue in Fern, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Gather dietary requirements early

FAQs for Fern
Is Fern too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Fern close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
What do children usually eat?
Normally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask which items contain gluten
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
