Why choose BBQ catering in Longcross?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Longcross hosts choose us
- Timed around your day

BBQ catering for your event in Longcross
Some hosts in Longcross pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We’re often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and retirement do’s, serving halloumi skewers, beef burgers and sausages.
Country barbecues near Longcross are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Longcross questions
Is Longcross too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue in Gracious Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
About the food
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
A catered BBQ in Longcross: what to know
Longcross is about 4 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Longcross is well within our area for events. Longcross is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Longcross to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
If you had Gracious Pond in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are frequently restricted in parks. For anyone arriving by rail, Longcross station is about 0.6 miles away.

How it works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Longcross get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
