Fernhurst: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Fernhurst from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What affects the price in Fernhurst
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Beef brisket
- BBQ ribs
- Beef burgers

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
