BBQ catering in Crosspost, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We’re often asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and engagement and anniversary parties, serving BBQ ribs, beef burgers and coleslaw.
Country barbecues near Crosspost are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re 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 will keep you both updated.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Six meats to choose from
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

The process
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in Crosspost get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Let us know about tight access

Planning a barbecue in Crosspost
Crosspost is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Crosspost and the surrounding area are covered for events. Crosspost is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Crosspost to Brighton (about 11 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Ockenden Manor (3.1 miles north-east) and Tyes Place (3.9 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Bolney CofE Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. Crosspost is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Planning the cooking spot

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
