What else we do in Peacehaven
What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Peacehaven
How far is Peacehaven from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue 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.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can you cater in Peacehaven?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Peacehaven and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
