Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
How our BBQ catering works in Horley
For bigger events in Horley, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near Horley makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Horley questions
How far is Horley from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Horley?
Banbury station, about 3.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
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.
How much choice do we need?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
