BBQ catering in Saltdean, cooked on site
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Saltdean: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. We are frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and club open days, with halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
For a barbecue in Saltdean, the garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Questions from Saltdean
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Saltdean from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.

Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
