BBQ catering in Reigate, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Typical bookings include relaxed weddings and evening receptions and summer staff days, serving sausages, BBQ ribs and beef burgers.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Reigate, with a club, hall or pub garden as a good alternative. We need a level spot away from the house. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

What else we do in Reigate
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose

- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
