Country barbecues near South Earlswood are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.

A barbecue or other catering?

South Earlswood questions
Is South Earlswood too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Should we have every meat?
Not usually. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
