Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in Hoe, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare

- Distance from us
- Site access
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Questions from Hoe
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Colekitchen Down?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
