How BBQ catering works in East Sussex

Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and retirement do’s, with pulled pork, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs.

We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen.

Barbecues across East Sussex: what to know

From Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to 240 villages and hamlets, barbecues across East Sussex range from town gardens to club fields, and a barbecue suits every kind of setting. The grill just needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. The High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park are within easy reach of places across East Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 106 of the places we cover in East Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Eastbourne: A green space like Princes Park is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. Coming by train? Hampden Park station is about 0.7 miles away. At midsummer, it is light in Eastbourne until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

Why a barbecue works

Work barbecues

For event organisers in East Sussex

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

Ask which items contain gluten
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats

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.

Prices and what affects them

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

Numbers
Crockery choices
Site access
Season and day of the week

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
