Barbecue catering for private Sotogrande villas and estates — La Reserva, Valderrama, Sotogrande Costa — cooked poolside on our own grills.
Sotogrande runs on its own calendar: polo, golf, boats, and long August weeks when the whole family is in residence. The estates are large and the pools are set well back from the house, which gives us room to build a proper grill line without crowding anyone. Groups here tend to be either small and private — twelve at a table — or full house parties heading towards 250. Both want the same thing: discretion, and cooking that holds up — slow-smoked ribs, lamb shoulder, salmon on the plank.

How we work on site
Nothing is borrowed. Our grills, gas, charcoal, cold storage, prep stations, crockery and glassware arrive on our vehicles, along with the whole brigade — for 100 guests, four chefs, twelve waiters and three bartenders. Gated access in Sotogrande takes time, so guest lists and vehicle details go in ahead of us. The cooking line is built poolside, positioned so the smoke and the noise of service sit away from the seating. We are on the property two hours before service, four to five for bigger builds.
Season & booking
The outdoor season is mid-April to mid-October. Sotogrande's peak is compressed into August, when the polo and the house parties coincide and dates disappear first. We hold bookings taken anywhere between one week and two years in advance, and August requests routinely arrive the previous autumn. Across four months in 2025 the team delivered 84 events. Late September remains excellent for daytime barbecues.

Frequently asked questions
Could we hold the barbecue on the beach instead?
No — and it isn't a policy of ours but the law. Open-flame cooking on Costa del Sol beaches is prohibited except at a few equipped municipal sites, which are public and unsuitable for private catering. Sotogrande barbecues take place in villa gardens, by the pool.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Yes. The minimum is set by the guest count your chosen menu requires, not by attendance on the day. Pricing starts at €50 per guest; tell us the format and numbers and we will confirm the figure in writing.
Whose grills and equipment are used?
Ours, always. Grills, fuel, refrigeration, prep tables and full tableware travel with the team, so an estate kitchen never has to be opened to us. That matters on properties where the house is occupied and the owners would rather the catering stayed outside.
What languages does the team work in?
English is the default and carries most of Sotogrande. The team also works in Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French and Arabic, which covers the international households here without a host stepping in to interpret dietary requirements or explain what is on the grill.
How far ahead should we reserve a date?
From one week to two years, though August in Sotogrande rewards early commitment. We also need lead time for gate clearance and vehicle registration on private estates. On the day, the team arrives two hours before service as a minimum, four to five for larger events.
