We’re frequently asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and informal weddings, with beef brisket, sausages and chicken skewers.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Seasalter get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day

Common questions in Seasalter
Can you do a barbecue in Seasalter Levels?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Seasalter?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you cover Seasalter?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
