BBQ catering in Marehill, cooked on site
Some hosts in Marehill pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. On the menu are BBQ ribs, pulled pork and chicken skewers, and we are frequently booked for informal weddings and sports clubs and team events.
In a small place like Marehill, 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 plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Barbecues in Marehill: gardens, clubs and local tips
Marehill is about 10 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. We’re happy to travel to Marehill for events and the places nearby. Marehill is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Marehill to Brighton (17 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School often look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. If the day starts at a church like Wiggonholt Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Marehill. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in RH20, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include West Chiltington Road, Tudor Close and Kings Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Nutbourne (1 mile north-east), Broomershill (1 mile north-west), Wiggonholt (1 mile south), West Chiltington Common (1 mile south-east) and West Chiltington (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (10 miles north-east), Worthing (10 miles south), Bognor Regis (14 miles south-west), Chichester (15 miles south-west), Burgess Hill (15 miles east) and Littlehampton (10 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Amberley Castle (4 miles south-west) and The Storrington And District Museum (2.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Marehill includes Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Rising Sun Inn (0.6 miles north-east)
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
