For a fundraiser at a school like Sedlescombe CofE Primary School, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. If the day starts at a church like The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by. Sedlescombe is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor barbecue. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first. The sea is within about 6 miles of Sedlescombe, so breezy days are common: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.

BBQ catering for your event in Sedlescombe
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Popular choices include beef burgers, halloumi skewers and sausages, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports clubs and team events and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Sedlescombe, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. For an evening barbecue in Sedlescombe, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit

Questions from Sedlescombe
Do you come out to small places like Sedlescombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you cover Sedlescombe?
