How the day works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. At midsummer, it is light in Horney Common until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Horney Common
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 Horney Common too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
