BBQ catering in Linkhill, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Linkhill: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and work barbecues, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Linkhill makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Common questions in Linkhill
Is Linkhill too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do children typically eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you cover Linkhill?
Yes, Linkhill is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
