In Itchingfield, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Whether it’s fundraising barbecues and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we can cook beef burgers, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Itchingfield, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route.

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. In Itchingfield, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.

Itchingfield questions
Is Itchingfield 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.
Is Itchingfield close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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 you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, on a plate or in a roll.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Parking near the grill
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
- Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
- Six barbecue meats to choose from
- Vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
