How our BBQ catering works in Tisman's Common
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include informal weddings and leaving and retirement parties, with beef burgers, sausages and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Tisman's Common, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Tisman's Common, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

FAQs for Tisman's Common
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Tisman's Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
