BBQ catering for your event in Hailsham
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are often asked to cater garden parties and leaving parties, with sausages, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
Birthdays, staff days and club events in Hailsham all suit a catered barbecue. The common need is a spot outside for the grill, with cover overhead. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

A catered BBQ in Hailsham: what to know
Hailsham is about 6 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Events in Hailsham are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Hailsham is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Hailsham to Brighton (17 miles away).
After a christening at a church such as The Parish Church of Saint Mary, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (1.5 miles north) and Michelham Priory (1.9 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Hailsham is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Events anywhere in BN27 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Market Place and Station Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Main roads around Hailsham include the A271 and A295, so getting the barbecue to your event is simple. Close by, we cover events in Tile Hurst (1 mile north-west), Upper Horsebridge (1 mile north), Hellingly (1 mile north), Lower Horsebridge (1 mile north-west) and Magham Down (2 miles north-east).

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask which items contain gluten
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
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.

When you contact us, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or BN27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. By late September, sunset in Hailsham is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
