Your questions about a catered barbecue in Minsted
How far is Minsted from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue 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.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.

- Numbers
