Painter's Forstal questions
Do you come out to small places like Painter's Forstal?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Painter's Forstal close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A full barbecue menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
