How our BBQ catering works in Norton
In Norton, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We are frequently asked to cater team days and staff summer parties and retirement do’s, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and pulled pork.
In a small place like Norton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

FAQs for Norton
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Norton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Where the barbecue can go in Norton
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A spot well clear of buildings
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Norton is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
