BBQ catering for Seaford
BBQ catering in Seaford, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater fundraising barbecues and reunions and family get-togethers, serving sausages, chicken skewers and beef burgers.
In a town like Seaford, a garden barbecue is a summer favourite, and a club or hall with outdoor space works if the garden is small. We need a level spot away from the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Seaford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Planning a barbecue in Seaford
Seaford is about 8 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We cater events of every size in Seaford. We cater 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Seaford to Brighton (about 11 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Seaford Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. Within reach of Seaford are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (3 miles north-east) and Charleston Farmhouse (4.6 miles north). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Seaford is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. With the coast within about a mile of Seaford, wind is the thing to plan for: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in BN25, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on High Street, Station Road and East Albany Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Main roads around Seaford include the A259, so getting the barbecue to your event is simple. For events just outside Seaford, we cover Bishopstone (1 mile north-west), Norton (2 miles north-west), Tide Mills (2 miles west), Westdean (2 miles east) and Dukes Green (3 miles north-east).

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
