Your questions about a catered barbecue in Balls Cross
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.
How far is Balls Cross from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do children normally eat?
Usually, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Balls Cross. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of food time, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. Sunset in Balls Cross is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Planning help
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices

Details that help

- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Why choose BBQ catering in Balls Cross?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Balls Cross hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Hot food straight off the grill
- No surprises: everything in writing
