How our BBQ catering works in Greywell
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. We’re frequently asked to cater community fun days and cricket, football and rugby club days, with coleslaw, pulled pork and halloumi skewers.
Country barbecues near Greywell are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Greywell, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Greywell
How far is Greywell from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Greywell?
Hook station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
What do children typically eat?
Generally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
- Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
