How our BBQ catering works in Ashton Green
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. On the menu are sausages, pulled pork and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for summer staff days and community fun days.
Country barbecues near Ashton Green are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

No room at home? A club near Ashton Green with a terrace or field can be a good alternative. Within reach of Ashton Green are historic houses such as Glyndebourne (1 mile south-west) and Glynde Place (1.7 miles south). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Ashton Green, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.
For events in BN8, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Local streets include Neaves Lane and Potato Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

How the day works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Ashton Green, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
