Brighton barbecues: local tips
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. We cover Brighton and its neighbours for events. We bring barbecues to all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
For guests coming by train, London Road (Brighton) station is in Brighton itself. If you had William Clarke Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are frequently restricted in parks. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Brighton. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 2 miles of Brighton, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Wherever your event is in BN1, BN2 and BN3, we can bring the barbecue to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as London Road, Isetta Square and Pelham Square, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Brighton sits on or near the A23 and A259, which makes travel to your event easy. We also bring barbecues to events in Hanover (1 mile south), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Hollingdean (1 mile north) and Seven Dials (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles west), Saltdean (4 miles south-east), East Saltdean (5 miles south-east) and Rottingdean (3 miles south-east). Brighton is one of the larger places we cover in Brighton and Hove, with plenty of venues for events.
Nearby you will also find Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Open spaces near Brighton include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
- Schools near Brighton include Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west) and Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south)

What affects the price in Brighton
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it is light in Brighton until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Brighton
Could you cook in William Clarke Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can you cater in Brighton?
Yes, Brighton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
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.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Why choose BBQ catering in Brighton?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
