How our BBQ catering works in Newhaven

Questions from Newhaven
Is Newhaven close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Newhaven?
Newhaven has its own station: Newhaven Town station.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
