East Worthing questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Beach House Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
BBQ catering for your event in East Worthing
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We are often asked to cater evening wedding food and community fun days, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
For a barbecue in East Worthing, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our barbecue in East Worthing
- A full barbecue menu

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. In East Worthing, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
