About our BBQ catering in Rackham
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Typical bookings include leaving parties and work barbecues, serving BBQ ribs, pulled pork and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Rackham, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer barbecue in Rackham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

Rackham barbecues: local tips
Rackham is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Rackham and the surrounding area are covered for events. Rackham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Rackham to Brighton (about 17 miles away).
Thinking of a barbecue in Parham Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, generally the council’s. Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. Rackham is within about 2 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.
Here we cover the RH20 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Rackham
Which station is closest to Rackham?
Amberley station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Rackham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
How much choice do we need?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Rackham. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
