How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Anything the venue has asked for

How our BBQ catering works in Icklesham
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We serve beef brisket, BBQ ribs and sausages, and typical bookings are for retirement do’s and charity fundraisers.
Country barbecues near Icklesham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, on a plate or in a roll.
BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.
What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Icklesham need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.

- At food time, we cook and serve.

A catered BBQ in Icklesham: what to know
Icklesham is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Hosts in Icklesham book us for events of all sizes. We bring barbecues to all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 31 miles away.
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, often want a barbecue. Churches such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby typically does. The sea is within about 4 miles of Icklesham, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

Working with your venue

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A clear way in from where we park
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches

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

Common questions in Icklesham
What’s the nearest station to Icklesham?
The closest is Winchelsea station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Icklesham too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
