Planning a barbecue in Newdigate
Newdigate is about 5 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Events in Newdigate are part of our patch. We bring barbecues to 395 places across Surrey. Our bookings stretch from Newdigate to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
Coming by train? The nearest station is Holmwood station, about 1.7 miles north-west. Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Newdigate, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
We cater events across the RH5 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Church Road, Underhill Road and Village Street; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover events in Cudworth (1 mile east), Parkgate (1 mile north-east), Shellwood Cross (2 miles north), Russ Hill (2 miles south-east) and Nalderswood (3 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (14 miles north-west), Epsom (12 miles north), Horley (5 miles east), Redhill (7 miles north-east), Ewell (13 miles north) and Reigate (6 miles north-east).

BBQ catering for your event in Newdigate
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and club open days, serving BBQ ribs, beef burgers and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Newdigate makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Evening barbecues in Newdigate need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
