- Travel to Selsey
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time. In Selsey, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

FAQs for Selsey
How far is Selsey from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
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.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
