How our BBQ catering works in Chichester
Barbecue food is sociable food: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. We will find the right spot at your venue in Chichester. On the menu are chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs, and typical bookings are for community fun days and engagement and anniversary parties.
Garden barbecues are a classic in Chichester, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. All we need is a level spot with clearance. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

What we serve, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Where the barbecue can go in Chichester
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Chichester get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests
