BBQ catering for Amberley
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer, cooked until it is hot all the way through.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

BBQ catering for your event in Amberley
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. For fundraising barbecues and leaving and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, sausages and beef burgers for your guests.
In a small place like Amberley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Amberley hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Amberley
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Amberley
Could you cook in Parham Park?

When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.

How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. A summer barbecue in Amberley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Amberley barbecues: local tips
Amberley is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Amberley and the surrounding area are covered for events. Amberley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Amberley to Brighton (18 miles away).
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Amberley CofE Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. The South Downs National Park is within about a mile of Amberley, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in BN18, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as School Road, Turnpike Road and Hog Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.
