FAQs for Jacob's Post
Is Jacob's Post close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Jacob's Post?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Jacob's Post and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
