How the day works

When we arrive, 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. Evening barbecues in Littlehampton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

  1. Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the cooking spot and quote.
  3. We set up under cover before service.
  4. At food time, we cook and serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How our BBQ catering works in Littlehampton

We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Tell us about the space in Littlehampton and we’ll check it works. For club open days and work barbecues, we can cook sausages, pulled pork and beef brisket and more.

Garden barbecues are a classic in Littlehampton, with a club, hall or pub garden as a good alternative. We need a level spot away from the house. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How to plan a catered barbecue

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Littlehampton

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.

What about windy coastal sites?

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Do you bring plates and clear up?

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

How much choice do we need?

Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.

How do you handle food safety?

Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.

Can you cater in Littlehampton?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Littlehampton and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.

  • Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
  • Room for a serving table next to the grill

  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • An itemised quote
  • Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

Read our prices page or menu ideas for your barbecue.

  • Ask which items contain gluten
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
  • Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled

We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.

  • Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Six barbecue meats to choose from
  • Meat-free choices cooked separately
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
