About our BBQ catering in Rowledge
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. We’re frequently asked to cater work barbecues and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, with coleslaw, pulled pork and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Rowledge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. By late September, sunset in Rowledge is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Rowledge: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Rowledge from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
