Planning a barbecue in Shover's Green
Shover's Green is about 7 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Shover's Green and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring barbecues to all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 26 miles away.
Thinking of a barbecue in Wadhurst Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like Uplands Community College, the barbecue can cook on a spot agreed with the school. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Shover's Green. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

Shover's Green questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Wadhurst Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do children generally eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What do you need from the venue?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will check anything else with you.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Where the barbecue can go in Shover's Green
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
