Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hersham

BBQ catering in Hersham, cooked on site
In Hersham, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it is fundraising barbecues and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, coleslaw and beef burgers for your guests.
For a barbecue in Hersham, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. For an evening barbecue in Hersham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
