Planning a barbecue in Hampden Park
Hampden Park is about 1 mile north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Hampden Park is well within our area for events. We cater all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Hampden Park to Brighton (18 miles away).
For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Hampden Park: Hampden Park station. After a christening at a church such as St Mary's Church, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Hampden Park 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. The sea is within about 3 miles of Hampden Park, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Wherever your event is in BN22, BN21 and BN23, we can cook on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Port Road, Court Road and Brand Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Main roads around Hampden Park include the A22 and A2280, which makes travel to your event easy. If your venue is just outside Hampden Park, we also cover Eastbourne (1 mile south-east), Ratton Village (1 mile west), Upperton (2 miles south), Old Town (2 miles south) and Jevington (3 miles west).

A closer look at the menu

Burgers cook quickly on the grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal.

Hampden Park: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Hampden Park?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you do halal?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
