About our BBQ catering in Crowhurst
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Popular choices include beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages, and we are often booked for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and leaving parties.
In a small place like Crowhurst, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Crowhurst
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. A summer barbecue in Crowhurst stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark

Planning help
Where the barbecue can go in Crowhurst
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
