BBQ catering in Hazel Street, cooked on site
For bigger events in Hazel Street, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we will quote for both. On the menu are beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for street parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Country barbecues near Hazel Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hazel Street
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Hazel Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why Hazel Street hosts choose us
