Common questions in Great Burgh
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

What’s on your BBQ menu?

Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
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.

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
