BBQ catering for Woking
BBQ catering in Woking, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Woking: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For sports clubs and team events and big birthday parties, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, coleslaw and beef burgers and more.
Woking has plenty of venues, but for a barbecue the outdoor space matters most: a terrace, courtyard or lawn with room for the grill and a queue. Ask your venue about outside caterers. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Woking
Which station is closest to Woking?
Woking station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Is Woking close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Woking. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Can you cater in Woking?

Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is the food cooked safely?

What affects the price in Woking
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book our barbecue in Woking
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

A catered BBQ in Woking: what to know
Woking is about 24 miles south-west of London, in Surrey. Events in Woking are part of our patch. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey.
Nearby historic houses include Botleys Mansion (4.3 miles north-east) and Byfleet Manor (4.9 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. If the day starts at a church like Church of St Mary of Bethany, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by.
Anywhere in GU21, GU22, GU24 and GU3, we can bring the barbecue to you. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, Market Walk and Gloucester Square, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. You will find Woking on the A247 and A320, which makes the journey straightforward. Close by, we cover events in Goldsworth Park (1 mile west), St John's (1 mile west), Horsell (1 mile north-east), Westfield (1 mile south-east) and Mimbridge (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (5 miles south), Camberley (7 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (12 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (8 miles north). Woking is one of the larger places we cover in Surrey, with plenty of venues for events.
Well-known places in the area include The Peacocks (0.6 miles east) and The Hockey Museum (0.7 miles east). Within reach you will find Brookwood Lye.
- Nearby schools include Woking High School (0.9 miles north) and Hoe Valley School (1.2 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (0.5 miles north)
Space, access and the venue

- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Woking get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- First, you send us 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Think about shelter for your guests

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
