BBQ catering for your event in Grayshott
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. We’re often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and big birthday parties, with BBQ ribs, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
Around Grayshott, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
About the food
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Grayshott questions
How far is Grayshott from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
