About our BBQ catering in Rotherbridge
Some hosts in Rotherbridge pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We’re frequently asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and sausages.
Country barbecues near Rotherbridge are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Rotherbridge: your questions answered
Is Rotherbridge close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Rotherbridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
About the food
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
A catered BBQ in Rotherbridge: what to know
Rotherbridge is about 8 miles south-west of Billingshurst, in West Sussex. We cater events of every size in Rotherbridge. We cater 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Rotherbridge to Guildford (about 19 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Petworth Cof E Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Nearby historic houses include Petworth House (1.2 miles north-east) and Bignor Roman Villa (3.7 miles south). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Rotherbridge, 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 GU28 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on Kilsham Lane and Rotherbridge Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Petworth (1 mile north-east), Haslingbourne (1 mile east), Tillington (1 mile north), Upperton (2 miles north) and Hampers Green (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (15 miles north-east), Worthing (14 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (13 miles south), Chichester (11 miles south-west), Littlehampton (12 miles south) and Rustington (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Lodsworth Castle (2.1 miles west) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (0.5 miles south-east). The countryside around Rotherbridge includes Bignor Hill and Graffham Common.
A barbecue or other catering?
