BBQ catering in Heathfield, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Heathfield, under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve pulled pork, beef burgers and beef brisket, and we are frequently booked for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and street parties.
In a place like Heathfield, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

About the food
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
FAQs for Heathfield
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Heathfield close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
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 much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
When should we book BBQ catering?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Timed around your day
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening barbecue in Heathfield, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
