Your questions about a catered barbecue in Buxted
Is Buxted too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Buxted?
Buxted has its own station: Buxted station.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Do you cover Buxted?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Buxted, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
