Is Cliffs End close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Cliffs End?

Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Looking after everyone

- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A green light from whoever owns the site
