Questions from Leigh
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Leigh?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Leigh?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How our BBQ catering works in Leigh
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and summer staff days, serving pulled pork, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
Country barbecues near Leigh are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. In Leigh, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning a barbecue in Leigh
Leigh is about 3 miles south-west of Reigate, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Leigh for events. Leigh is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 14 miles away.
After a christening at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. PTAs at schools such as Burys Court School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Leigh is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Wherever your event is in RH2, we can bring the barbecue to you. That could mean an event in a garden on Church Road, Smalls Hill Road and The Glebe or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Dawesgreen (1 mile north-west), Bunce Common (1 mile west), Irons Bottom (2 miles east), Strood Green (2 miles north-west) and Sidlow (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (14 miles west), Epsom (9 miles north), Horley (4 miles south-east), Redhill (4 miles north-east), Ewell (10 miles north) and Reigate (3 miles north-east).
A little further out are Reigate Priory Museum (2.7 miles north-east) and East Surrey Hospital (3.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Reigate Heath and Colley Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Seven Stars Public House (under half a mile north-west)
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
