How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. By late September, sunset in Weavers Down is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Weavers Down questions
Is Weavers Down too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
