How our BBQ catering works in Pinewood Village
Barbecue food is sociable food: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Pinewood Village, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Popular choices include beef burgers, chicken skewers and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and work barbecues.
For a barbecue in Pinewood Village, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What else we do in Pinewood Village
What happens on the day
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Pinewood Village, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Pinewood Village
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Pinewood Village?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
How many meats should we choose?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.

About the food
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Chicken skewers

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
