BBQ catering for Pyecombe
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
How our BBQ catering works in Pyecombe
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. We are frequently asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, serving pulled pork, BBQ ribs and coleslaw.
In a small place like Pyecombe, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Pyecombe barbecues: local tips
Pyecombe is about 4 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. We cover events in Pyecombe, as well as the surrounding area. Pyecombe is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Hassocks station, roughly 1.9 miles north-east of the centre. PTAs at schools such as Downlands Community School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. Pyecombe is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. The sea is within about 6 miles of Pyecombe, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
Anywhere in BN45, we can cook on site for your guests. Streets in the area include London Road, School Lane and Church Hill, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the barbecue. If your venue is just outside Pyecombe, we also cover Saddlescombe (1 mile south-west), Waterhall (2 miles south), Patcham (3 miles south), Westdene (3 miles south) and Hollingbury (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (12 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles south-west).
A little further out are Clayton Castle (1 mile north-east) and The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (1.7 miles north). Open spaces near Pyecombe include Wolstonbury Hill and Ladies Mile.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A closer look at the menu
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.

Chicken gives guests who do not eat pork or beef a meat option, cooked until it is hot all the way through.

Is Pyecombe close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.

How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
