BBQ catering for your event in Hellingly
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Hellingly: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. On the menu are halloumi skewers, coleslaw and sausages, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Barbecues around Hellingly are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Hellingly, 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.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose the menu a week or so before
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t 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 add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
