- Travel to Founthill
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Founthill
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Founthill close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
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 does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
