BBQ catering in Maudlin, cooked on site
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. We serve coleslaw, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and sports days and evening wedding food.
In a small place like Maudlin, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning a barbecue in Maudlin
Maudlin is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We are happy to travel to Maudlin for events. We cater 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 27 miles away.
Summer fairs and sports days, for a school such as The March CofE Primary School, often want a barbecue. For guests coming by train, Chichester station is about 2.1 miles away. With the coast within about 6 miles of Maudlin, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
We cover events in every part of the PO18 postcode area. From Augustus Way, Vespasian Close and Stane Street or anywhere nearby, we can set up and cook there. Close by, we cover events in Westhampnett (1 mile west), Shopwyke (1 mile south), Westerton (1 mile north), Strettington (1 mile north-east) and Waterbeach (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as Worthing (15 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south-east), Selsey (8 miles south), Littlehampton (10 miles east), Emsworth (8 miles west) and Rustington (11 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Chichester Castle (1.6 miles south-west) and The Chichester City Museum (1.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Maudlin includes Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and Levin Down.
- Nearby schools include Westbourne House School (0.6 miles south) and Chichester High School For Girls (2 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Coach And Horses Public House (within half a mile north-east)
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. A summer barbecue in Maudlin stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Include children in your numbers

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Common questions in Maudlin
Can you barbecue near the sea around Maudlin?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Maudlin close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
