Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. A summer barbecue in Bevendean stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

Questions from Bevendean
How far is Bevendean from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Why choose BBQ catering in Bevendean?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Six meats to choose from
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
What comes off the grill
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, served alongside the burgers and sausages.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
