Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
BBQ catering for your event in Slaugham
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off 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. We serve pulled pork, chicken skewers and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and street parties.

Slaugham questions
Is Slaugham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Slaugham?
Balcombe station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you cover Slaugham?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use 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.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we’ll advise on the rest.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
