The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. A summer barbecue in Burgess Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Travel to Burgess Hill
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
