Planning a barbecue in Hastings
Hastings is in East Sussex. Events in Hastings are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Hastings to Brighton (30 miles away).
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as St Paul's Church of England Academy, frequently want a barbecue. If the day starts at a church like St Luke's Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. With the coast within about 2 miles of Hastings, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Events anywhere in TN34, TN38, TN37 and TN35 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and roughly how many guests. Local streets include London Road, Church Road and Upper Church Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Being close to the A21 and A28, Hastings is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Silverhill (1 mile west), Blacklands (1 mile east), St Helen's (1 mile north-east), Hollington (1 mile north-west) and St Leonards (1 mile south-west).

As one of the bigger places in East Sussex, Hastings has lots of places with room for a barbecue.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. For an evening barbecue in Hastings, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Think about shelter for your guests

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
