BBQ catering for your event in Pyrford
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Pyrford: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve sausages, chicken skewers and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Around Pyrford, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you won’t spend it cooking. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Autumn and winter barbecues in Pyrford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

About the food
Beef burgers
Our chef grills beef burgers to order, straight from the grill to the bun.
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Pyrford questions
How far is Pyrford from London?
About 22 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
