Your questions about a catered barbecue in Stoke D'Abernon
How far is Stoke D'Abernon from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
