Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
BBQ catering in Runfold, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it is charity fundraisers and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, BBQ ribs and sausages and more.
Country barbecues near Runfold are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Room for a serving table next to the grill

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Travel to Runfold
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Runfold is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about where the smoke will drift

Other occasions in Runfold
Why choose BBQ catering in Runfold?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Six meats to choose from
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Runfold questions
How far is Runfold from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Runfold barbecues: local tips
Runfold is about 2 miles east of Farnham, in Surrey. We cover Runfold and its neighbours for events. Runfold is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Runfold to Guildford (about 8 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like The Church of the Good Shepherd, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Thinking of a barbecue in Crooksbury Hill?
