How our BBQ catering works in Poling
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. Typical bookings include charity fundraisers and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, with beef burgers, sausages and coleslaw.
Country barbecues near Poling are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

A catered barbecue compared with other options

Poling questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Poling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.

Poling barbecues: local tips
Poling is about 2 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We cater events of every size in Poling. We cater all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Poling to Brighton (17 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like The Parish Church of St Nicholas, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Within reach of Poling are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (2 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and open cooking early. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Poling, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about 3 miles of Poling, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in BN18, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook. Nearby, we also cater events in Crossbush (1 mile north-west), Warningcamp (1 mile north-west), Toddington (1 mile south-west), Lyminster (2 miles west) and Rustington (2 miles south).

How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in Poling need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
