BBQ catering for your event in Newtimber
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and club open days, with BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
A barbecue in the countryside near Newtimber makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Why choose BBQ catering in Newtimber?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from
- A clear quote with everything listed

Newtimber questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Newtimber?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. At midsummer, it’s light in Newtimber until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
