BBQ catering in East Wittering, 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 serve beef brisket, BBQ ribs and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and school fairs and summer fêtes.
In a place like East Wittering, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

East Wittering questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is East Wittering close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
