Your questions about a catered barbecue in East Ashling
Is East Ashling too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
