BBQ catering for your event in Albourne
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater club open days and fundraising days, with halloumi skewers, beef burgers and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Albourne, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Questions from Albourne
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Albourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Barbecues in Albourne: gardens, clubs and local tips
Albourne is about 4 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Albourne? We can help. Albourne is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Albourne to Brighton (8 miles away).
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Bartholomew rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Albourne CofE Primary School, often want a barbecue. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Albourne, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Anywhere in BN6, we can bring the barbecue to you. Other places close to Albourne we cover include Albourne Street (1 mile east), Albourne Green (1 mile north-east), High Cross (1 mile north-west), Blackstone (1 mile west) and Woodmancote (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Crawley (12 miles north), Horsham (10 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (7 miles south).

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Evening barbecues in Albourne need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
