Ifieldwood questions
Is Ifieldwood close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Should we have every meat?
Not generally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
About our BBQ catering in Ifieldwood
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. Typical bookings include work barbecues and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket.
In a small place like Ifieldwood, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will 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. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. Sunset in Ifieldwood is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically 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.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Include children in your numbers
