BBQ catering in Horton Heath
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Horton Heath
Can you barbecue near the sea around Horton Heath?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Horton Heath close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
BBQ catering in Horton Heath, cooked on site
For bigger events in Horton Heath, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. For work barbecues and sports clubs and team events, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, beef brisket and coleslaw and more.
Around Horton Heath, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Parking near the grill

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Horton Heath
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Site access
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. Evening barbecues in Horton Heath need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
