FAQs for Sundridge
How far is Sundridge from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Sundridge too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much choice do we need?
Not generally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you cook the barbecue 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.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you need anything from us?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll confirm details when we quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, and served in a soft roll.
