About our BBQ catering in Lidsey
For bigger events in Lidsey, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Whether it is neighbourhood parties and sports clubs and team events, we can cook beef brisket, coleslaw and beef burgers for your guests.
In a small place like Lidsey, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. Sunset in Lidsey is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Lidsey
Could you cook in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Lidsey close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
How many meats should we choose?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Do you offer halal meat?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.

If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Barnham station, roughly 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.

Here we cover the PO22 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Local streets include Lidsey Road and Sack Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Where the barbecue can go in Lidsey
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
