How our BBQ catering works in Old Woking
For bigger events in Old Woking, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and street parties, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Old Woking makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Old Woking until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

FAQs for Old Woking
How far is Old Woking from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
