BBQ catering in Tandridge, cooked on site
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Popular choices include pulled pork, sausages and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and cricket, football and rugby club days.

The menu, dish by dish

Step by step

In Tandridge, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
How to prepare

- Meat-free choices cooked separately
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
