BBQ catering in Oving, served hot
Some hosts in Oving pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Whether it is work barbecues and close and cul-de-sac parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs.

How we price a catered barbecue
Your quote depends on:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
A catered BBQ in Oving: what to know

If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Westbourne House School, a barbecue is a crowd-pleaser. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 2.7 miles west of the centre. The sea is within about 5 miles of Oving, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
Events anywhere in PO20 start with an outdoor spot for the barbecue and roughly how many guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Church Lane, Sampsons Drive and Highfield Lane, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue. If your venue is just outside Oving, we also cover Shopwyke (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile north), Maudlin (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile south) and Boxgrove (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (4 miles south-east), Chichester (3 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles east) and Emsworth (9 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find St Richard's Hospital (2.1 miles west) and Tote Copse Castle (1.4 miles east).
- Schools near Oving include Tangmere Primary Academy (1.2 miles north) and Chichester High School For Girls (2.4 miles west)
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. Sunset in Oving is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
