BBQ catering in Chidham, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Chidham: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Popular choices include pulled pork, halloumi skewers and sausages, and typical bookings are for fundraising barbecues and birthdays and milestone parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Chidham makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Questions from Chidham
Can you barbecue near the sea around Chidham?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Chidham?
Nutbourne station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you cover Chidham?
Yes, Chidham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s 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:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A clear way in from where we park
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
