How our BBQ catering works in Crawley
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we will suggest a menu. We are often asked to cater leaving and retirement parties and team days and staff summer parties, with coleslaw, beef brisket and pulled pork.
Crawley has plenty of venues, but for a barbecue the outdoor space matters most: somewhere level outside with space for a serving table. Check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Crawley
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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
When you contact us, please mention:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RH10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
