Common questions in Sidlesham
How far is Sidlesham from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Sidlesham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Plan shelter for your guests.
Can you cater in Sidlesham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Sidlesham and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.

Step by step
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Sidlesham need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
