A catered BBQ in Birdham: what to know
Birdham is about 4 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We’re happy to travel to Birdham for events. Birdham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Birdham to Southampton (about 26 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as St James' Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. For guests coming by train, Fishbourne station is about 3.3 miles away. The sea is within about 5 miles of Birdham, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
We cater events across PO20. Your event could be at a house on Old Common Close, Main Road and Walwyn Close or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Birdham
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Common questions in Birdham
Is Birdham too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can you cater in Birdham?
Yes, Birdham is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
The process
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. A summer barbecue in Birdham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
