How our BBQ catering works in Horne
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and big birthday parties, serving BBQ ribs, sausages and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Horne 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. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

A catered BBQ in Horne: what to know
Horne is about 4 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Horne for events and the places nearby. We cater all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Horne to London (about 22 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Mary the Virgin rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Horne, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Wherever your event is in RH6, we can cook on site for your guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Church Road and Whitewood Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. For events just outside Horne, we cover Whitewood (1 mile north-east), Blindley Heath (1 mile north-east), Newchapel (2 miles south-east), Lingfield Common (3 miles east) and Domewood (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (13 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles west), Redhill (5 miles north-west), Ewell (14 miles north-west), Reigate (6 miles north-west) and Caterham (7 miles north).

FAQs for Horne

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How the day works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Horne is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
