BBQ catering in Oxted, served hot
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We serve halloumi skewers, beef brisket and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for club open days and neighbourhood parties.
Barbecues around Oxted are often relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you will not spend it cooking. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What affects the price in Oxted
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

When you contact us, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What happens on the day
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, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Oxted, think about light: 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
