BBQ catering for your event in Bighton
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Bighton: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve chicken skewers, beef brisket and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and fundraising barbecues.
Near Bighton, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What BBQ catering costs
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Numbers
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

FAQs for Bighton
Is Bighton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Bighton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Bighton. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Bighton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
