A barbecue near Ramsdean
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. 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, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Ramsdean need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Include children in your numbers
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
