A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Serving and clearing done for you

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hunton
Which station is closest to Hunton?
The closest is Yalding station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you do a barbecue in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much choice do we need?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Sunset in Hunton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
