How our BBQ catering works in Rowhook
In Rowhook, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include fundraising days and engagement and anniversary parties, serving pulled pork, beef burgers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Rowhook, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Rowhook questions
Could you cook in Farlington Strood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Rowhook close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do children usually eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. In Rowhook, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Farlington School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. Thinking of a barbecue in Farlington Strood Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Rowhook, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?

- Six meats to choose from
