Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Newchapel
- Site access
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
How our BBQ catering works in Newchapel
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For evening wedding food and fundraising days, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, halloumi skewers and pulled pork.
Near Newchapel, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Thinking of a barbecue in Centenary Fields? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is Dormans station, about 2 miles east. Newchapel is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.
For events in RH7, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Streets in the area include Wembury Park, Eastbourne Road and Wire Mill Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
