BBQ catering in Russ Hill
BBQ catering for your event in Russ Hill
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. For evening wedding food and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and pulled pork and more.
In a small place like Russ Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.

Russ Hill questions
Do you come out to small places like Russ Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
