A barbecue near Funtington
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
About our BBQ catering in Funtington
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We serve beef burgers, pulled pork and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for reunions and family get-togethers and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like Funtington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

- Travel and any London charges

- What crockery is supplied
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Funtington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- A choice of salads and potatoes
