Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What comes off the grill
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from East Lavington
Is East Lavington close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in East Lavington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
