Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Questions from Coolham
What’s the nearest station to Coolham?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Coolham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.

Space, access and the venue

- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Coolham
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Coolham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.

- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
