FAQs for St Peter's
Is St Peter's close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you barbecue near the sea around St Peter's?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there anything for vegans?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in St Peter's. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
