BBQ catering for Fulking

About our BBQ catering in Fulking

We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Fulking and we will check it works. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and fundraising days, we can cook pulled pork, sausages and beef brisket and more.

In a small place like Fulking, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Barbecue venues around Fulking

Fulking is about 4 miles north-west of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. Hosts in Fulking book us for events of all sizes. Fulking is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Fulking to Brighton (about 6 miles away).

Within reach of Fulking are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (3.3 miles south) and Preston Manor & Gardens (4.7 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Churches such as The Church of the Holy Trinity rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Fulking, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. The sea is within about 5 miles of Fulking, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Pulled pork

Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Fulking questions

How far is Fulking from London?

Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you barbecue near the sea around Fulking?

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

How soon do barbecue dates go?

Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Do you do barbecues out of season?

Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

What do you need from the venue?

Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.

What happens after service?

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.

For event organisers in Fulking

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Why us?

  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Pair it with a hog roast if you like
  • Planned to your running order

Take a look at how we price or our barbecue menu ideas.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
  • A wet-weather plan for your guests

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Evening barbecues in Fulking need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

  1. Show us the space.
  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
  5. We clear up so you do not have to.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
