BBQ catering in Pickhurst, cooked on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Step by step

In Pickhurst, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Pickhurst questions
How far is Pickhurst from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
How much choice do we need?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
