Churches such as Church of St Michael and All Angels rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Thursley
How far is Thursley from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. At midsummer, it is light in Thursley until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.

Getting ready for the day
