Why choose BBQ catering in Halnaker?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- A full barbecue menu
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day

BBQ catering in Halnaker, cooked on site
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, and pulled pork, brisket and ribs make it a proper feast. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff days and fundraising barbecues, with BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Halnaker, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Halnaker: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Halnaker?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Is Halnaker close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. Sunset in Halnaker is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.

Barbecues in Halnaker: gardens, clubs and local tips
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover events in Halnaker, as well as the surrounding area. Halnaker is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Halnaker to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
Churches such as The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. The sea is within about 6 miles of Halnaker, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in PO18, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.
