About our BBQ catering in Lewes
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. We are frequently asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and fundraising days, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers.
A summer barbecue at a club or school in Lewes is a popular fundraiser, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Get the go-ahead from the site first. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book our barbecue in Lewes
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for our vehicle nearby
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Lewes barbecues: local tips
Lewes is about 7 miles north-east of Brighton, in East Sussex. We cover Lewes and its neighbours for events. Lewes is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Lewes to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
Thinking of a barbecue in Railway Land? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is Lewes station, about 0.6 miles south-east. Lewes is within about a mile of the South Downs National Park. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs

- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
