BBQ catering in Hookwood, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater charity fundraisers and big birthday parties, serving BBQ ribs, coleslaw and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Hookwood 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why choose BBQ catering in Hookwood?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Barbecues in Hookwood: gardens, clubs and local tips
Hookwood is about 1 mile south-west of Horley, in Surrey. We cover Hookwood and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to 395 places in Surrey. We cater events right across the region, from Hookwood to Guildford (about 18 miles away).
For anyone arriving by rail, Horley station, about 1.2 miles east, is the nearest station. If the day starts at a church like Church of St Bartholomew, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Hookwood, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
We bring barbecues to events all over the RH6 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Campbell Close, Mistley Gardens and Kennel Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue.

Hookwood questions
Do you come out to small places like Hookwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hookwood close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.

Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In Hookwood, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches

- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
