BBQ catering for your event in Puttenham
For bigger events in Puttenham, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. Typical bookings include leaving parties and club open days, with BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
Near Puttenham, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Common questions in Puttenham
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Puttenham?
The closest is Wanborough station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking near the grill
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
