Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch.
How it works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. Sunset in Crossbush is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Include children in your numbers

Common questions in Crossbush
Can you barbecue near the sea around Crossbush?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Crossbush?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A clear way in from where we park
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
