Beckley: your questions answered
Is Beckley close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Beckley?
The closest is Winchelsea station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How many meats should we choose?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
