Questions from Staplecross
Do you come out to small places like Staplecross?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Staplecross stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.

- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
