Mid Holmwood: your questions answered
Is Mid Holmwood too small for a barbecue?

What’s the nearest station to Mid Holmwood?
The closest is Holmwood station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?

Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
The process
On the day, 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. For an evening barbecue in Mid Holmwood, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How we price a catered barbecue
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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 will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A clear way in from where we park
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
