About our BBQ catering in Burwash Common
For bigger events in Burwash Common, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. We can quote for either or both. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and cricket, football and rugby club days, serving chicken skewers, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.

Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.

A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: send us your details through our quote form.
