Is the barbecue cooked on site?

Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.

What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
BBQ catering in Selsdon, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will plan around it. Popular choices include pulled pork, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and birthdays and milestone parties.
In a place like Selsdon, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Room for a serving table next to the grill

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What affects the price in Selsdon
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CR2 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in Selsdon get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
