FAQs for Hatchford End
What’s the nearest station to Hatchford End?
Effingham Junction station, about 1.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
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. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
