Knaphill: your questions answered
Could you cook in Brookwood Lye?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Knaphill close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Can you cater in Knaphill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Knaphill and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Knaphill hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Six meats to choose from
- Add a hog roast alongside
