Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. We serve chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and pulled pork, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.

What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Wilsley Green get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option

- Add a hog roast alongside

Staplehurst station, about 4.8 miles north of the centre.
Is Wilsley Green close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater in Wilsley Green?
Yes, Wilsley Green is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Wilsley Green
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the grill
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are often the highlight.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
