Barnham is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We cater events of every size in Barnham. Barnham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Barnham to Brighton (about 22 miles away).
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Mary rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. PTAs at schools such as Barnham Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Barnham is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice

What affects the price in Barnham
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or PO22 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. In Barnham, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

For event organisers in Barnham
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
