Questions from Battle
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Battle close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Where the barbecue can go in Battle
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. A summer barbecue in Battle stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
