About our BBQ catering in Pirbright
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll plan around it. Whether it’s close and cul-de-sac parties and club open days, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.
Near Pirbright, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Pirbright
Can you do a barbecue in Burner's Heath and Swallows Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Pirbright?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
For event organisers in Pirbright
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
