A barbecue near Surrey Canal
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Surrey Canal is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How our BBQ catering works in Surrey Canal
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. On the menu are BBQ ribs, sausages and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and back-garden get-togethers.
Gardens in Surrey Canal tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels.
