BBQ catering for your event in Wotton
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Typical bookings include sports clubs and team events and leaving and retirement parties, with coleslaw, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Wotton are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Common questions in Wotton
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Wotton too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
