Planning a barbecue

The process

Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Sunset in Lickfold is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

  1. We start with your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Choose your meats and sides.
  3. We check the space and quote.
  4. On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm your menu choices in good time
  • Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
  • Send final numbers in good time

Prices and what affects them

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • Crockery choices
  • The date and time of year
  • Distance from us
  • The number of people

What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Details that help

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • An estimate of numbers
  • Your date and serving time
  • Any venue rules

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Ask which items contain gluten

If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Why choose BBQ catering in Lickfold?

Why us?

  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Timed around your day
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Can you do halal?

We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

How do you handle food safety?

That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

When should we book BBQ catering?

Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.

Do you do barbecues out of season?

Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?

Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.

Is clearing up included?

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
