Planning a barbecue in Plaistow

Plaistow is about 11 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Events in Plaistow are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We cover 371 places across West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 12 miles away.

For a fundraiser at a school like Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Plaistow is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

This part of West Sussex takes in RH14, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on The Street, Loxwood Road and Oakfield, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue. For events just outside Plaistow, we cover Durfold Wood (1 mile north-west), Ifold (1 mile east), Mackerel's Common (2 miles south), Loxwood (2 miles east) and Kirdford (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (11 miles east), Storrington (11 miles south-east), Billingshurst (6 miles south-east), Bewbush (15 miles east), Roffey (12 miles east) and Southwater (10 miles east).

Within reach you will find Shillinglee Lake.

Common questions in Plaistow

Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

How far is Plaistow from London?

Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.

Is the barbecue cooked on site?

Yes, on site at your venue in Plaistow. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Will children like the BBQ?

Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

Do you bring plates?

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Can you cater in Plaistow?

Yes, Plaistow is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

How soon do you get booked up?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Can you do halal?

No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

What the cooking area needs

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:

  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
  • A green light from whoever owns the site

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process

A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Sunset in Plaistow is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.

  1. Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
  2. Pick the menu with us.
  3. We check the space and quote.
  4. We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear up and go.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
