BBQ catering for your event in Norwood Hill
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve BBQ ribs, coleslaw and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraising days and family celebrations.
Country barbecues near Norwood Hill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Norwood Hill
- Access to the cooking area
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask which items contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Norwood Hill need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Norwood Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Norwood Hill?
The closest is Horley station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Norwood Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Will children like the BBQ?
Generally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Planned to your running order
- Six meats to choose from
