Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
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.
The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Autumn and winter barbecues in Falmer get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Falmer questions
Could you cook in Stanmer Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Falmer?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
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 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
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A wet-weather plan for your guests

For event organisers in Falmer
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Sausages
