Your questions about a catered barbecue in Plumpton
Can you do a barbecue at a venue 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.
Which station is closest to Plumpton?
Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you come to Plumpton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Plumpton and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
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. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. In Plumpton, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about where the smoke will drift

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking near the grill
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
