BBQ catering in Shoreham, cooked on site
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. For retirement do’s and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Shoreham makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Shoreham
Is Shoreham close to London?
About 16 miles from central London.
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
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.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
What do children generally eat?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
A barbecue or other catering?
