A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Planned to your running order

About our BBQ catering in Albourne Street
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. On the menu are sausages, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and family celebrations.
Near Albourne Street, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Albourne Street questions
Is Albourne Street too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Albourne Street?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

- Whether you want china
