Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
BBQ catering in Stoughton, cooked on site
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and cricket, football and rugby club days, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
For a barbecue in Stoughton, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Stoughton barbecues: local tips
Stoughton is about 1 mile north-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Events in Stoughton are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Stoughton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cater.
If guests are travelling by rail, Guildford station, about 1.4 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Thinking of a barbecue in Chitty's Common? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. Stoughton is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
We cover events in every part of the GU2, GU3 and GU1 postcode area. Streets in the area include Keens Lane, Manor Road and South Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Stoughton is on the A322 and A323, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bellfields (1 mile east), Westborough (1 mile south), Guildford (1 mile south-east), Jacobs Well (1 mile north-east) and Abbotswood (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Woking (4 miles north), Camberley (8 miles north-west), Epsom (15 miles east), Farnham (9 miles west), Egham (12 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Guildford Castle (1.7 miles south-east) and Guildford Hospital (1.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Stoughton include Littlefield Common and Pewley Hill.

- Nearby, you’ll find Wooden Bridge pub (0.6 miles south-east)
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Parking near the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. At midsummer, it is light in Stoughton until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

Questions from Stoughton
Could you cook in Chitty's Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
