Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
For event organisers in Wishanger Common
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
A catered BBQ in Wishanger Common: what to know
Wishanger Common is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Wishanger Common is well within our area for events and the places nearby. Wishanger Common is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Wishanger Common to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 3.7 miles north-west. If you had The Flashes in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Wishanger Common, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Anywhere in GU10, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Frensham Lane and Wishanger Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Other places close to Wishanger Common we cover include Dockenfield (1 mile north-west), Batt's Corner (2 miles north-west), Arford (2 miles south), Headley Down (2 miles south) and Headley (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Guildford (12 miles north-east), Camberley (13 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north), Frimley (12 miles north), Haslemere (5 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (14 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Chase Community Hospital (3.6 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Farnham Heath and Gibbet Hill.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Wishanger Common hosts choose us
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Our staff serve and clear
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, in a roll or with sides.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Beef burgers
- New potatoes
- Jacket potatoes
- Salads
- BBQ ribs
- Pulled pork
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Chicken skewers
- Coleslaw
- Sausages
- Beef brisket
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Prices and what affects them
