Barbecues in Eastbourne: gardens, clubs and local tips
Eastbourne is in East Sussex. We cover Eastbourne and its neighbours for events. Eastbourne is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Eastbourne to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
Coming by train? The nearest station is Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west. Churches such as St Andrew rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby generally does. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Eastbourne, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 2 miles of Eastbourne, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Anywhere in BN23, BN22, BN21 and BN20, we can bring the barbecue to you. Your event could be at a house on Vine Square, Ashford Square and Howard Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Eastbourne sits on or near the A22 and A259, which makes travel to your event easy. We also bring barbecues to events in Hampden Park (1 mile north-west), Upperton (1 mile south-west), Old Town (1 mile south-west), Ratton Village (2 miles west) and Meads (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Hastings (13 miles north-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (9 miles north-east), Seaford (8 miles west), Lewes (14 miles north-west), Hailsham (6 miles north) and St Leonards (13 miles east). As one of the bigger places in East Sussex, Eastbourne has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
Nearby you’ll also find Pevensey Castle (3 miles north-east) and Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1 mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.
- Nearby schools include Ratton School (1.1 miles west) and WMG Academy for Young Engineers (1.5 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The King's Arms Public House (0.9 miles south-east)

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Eastbourne: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Eastbourne?
The closest is Hampden Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
