A barbecue near Irons Bottom
BBQ catering in Irons Bottom, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. For street parties and fundraising days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef burgers and coleslaw and more.
A barbecue in the countryside near Irons Bottom makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Irons Bottom
Can you do a barbecue in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Irons Bottom?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
