Within reach of Shamley Green are historic houses such as Chilworth Manor (2.5 miles north) and Guildford Castle (3.9 miles north-west).

What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, often with coleslaw.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs

- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
