How our BBQ catering works in Old Dean
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. Our chef grills on site in Old Dean, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include big birthday parties and retirement do’s, serving coleslaw, beef brisket and sausages.
Around Old Dean, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you won’t spend it cooking. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
For event organisers in Old Dean
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef burgers
Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. At midsummer, it’s light in Old Dean until about 9:25pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

- 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays

- Any travel or access charges

- Which meats, sides and extras are included
What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Old Dean: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Old Dean?
Camberley station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Poors Allotment?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
