How our BBQ catering works in Bishopstone
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we’re often booked for family celebrations and back-garden get-togethers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Bishopstone makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for Bishopstone
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Bishopstone close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Do you cover Bishopstone?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bishopstone and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
