BBQ catering in Hanover, served hot
Some hosts in Hanover pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We serve sausages, chicken skewers and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement do’s and relaxed weddings and evening receptions.
Around Hanover, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

A catered BBQ in Hanover: what to know
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cover events in Hanover, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring barbecues to 30 places across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you had Queen's Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: barbecues are often restricted in parks. Within reach of Hanover are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (0.6 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.3 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Hanover is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. The sea is within about a mile of Hanover, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Here we cover the BN2, BN1 and BN50 postcode area. Whether your event is on Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. We also bring barbecues to events in Brighton (1 mile north), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Seven Dials (1 mile west) and Kemptown (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Westdene (3 miles north-west) and Saltdean (4 miles south-east). Hanover is among the bigger towns we cover in Brighton and Hove, with plenty of venues for events.
Other landmarks nearby include Old Police Cells Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.6 miles east). The countryside around Hanover includes Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Local schools include Academy of Creative Training (0.6 miles south) and Brighton Girls (1 mile west)
- Pubs nearby include The Dover Castle pub (less than half a mile south)
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear

Step by step
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Autumn and winter barbecues in Hanover get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Include children in your numbers

How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, in a roll or with sides.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, and salads add freshness.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
