About our BBQ catering in Nork
In Nork, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We serve coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and we are often booked for leaving parties and summer parties in the garden.
In a place like Nork, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Nork 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.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why book with us

A closer look at the menu
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Nork: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Priest Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Nork?
Banstead station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Do you come to Nork?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Nork and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
