How our BBQ catering works in Golden Cross

Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and informal weddings, with beef burgers, halloumi skewers and sausages.

Country barbecues near Golden Cross are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Events we cater in Golden Cross

Barbecue and hog roast together, if you like

In Golden Cross, we cook barbecues for all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

  • School fairs and summer fêtes
  • Birthdays and milestone parties
  • Cricket, football and rugby club days
  • Retirement do’s

For a fundraiser at a school like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The full menu and the sides
  • When payments are due and what happens if plans change
  • Travel and any London charges
  • Allergen information for every dish

Read the planning guide

Diets, allergies and alternatives

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats

The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.

Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

For planners, venues and organisers

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

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

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Golden Cross

Is Golden Cross too small for a barbecue?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Golden Cross from London?

Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cater in Golden Cross?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Golden Cross and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.

Can it be a sit-down meal?

Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.

Do you need anything from us?

Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We’ll check anything else with you.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

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.

Do you label the food for allergies?

We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.

How it works

Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Golden Cross, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
  4. At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about where the smoke will drift
  • Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How to get a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:

  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
