BBQ catering in Lurgashall, served hot
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. Whether it is school fairs and summer fêtes and team days and staff summer parties, we can cook chicken skewers, pulled pork and coleslaw and more.
In a small place like Lurgashall, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Lurgashall barbecues: local tips
Lurgashall is about 12 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Hosts in Lurgashall book us for events of all sizes. We cover 371 places in West Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Lurgashall to Guildford (about 15 miles away).
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby usually does. Nearby historic houses include Petworth House (3.9 miles south-east) and Cowdray House (4.3 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. Lurgashall is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
Here we cover the GU28 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Close by, we cover events in Lickfold (1 mile south-west), Northchapel (2 miles north-east), Ebernoe (2 miles east), Lodsworth (2 miles south) and Ansteadbrook (3 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (15 miles east), Chichester (14 miles south), Storrington (12 miles south-east), Billingshurst (9 miles east), Portfield (14 miles south) and Yapton (15 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include North Ambersham (1.8 miles north-west) and Midhurst Community Hospital (4.1 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Blackdown and Shillinglee Lake.
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in Lurgashall get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
