Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
How our BBQ catering works in Steep
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it is 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, beef burgers and sausages for your guests.
Near Steep, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Steep: your questions answered
Is Steep 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 you do a barbecue at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Do you offer halal meat?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Do you label the food for allergies?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, on a plate or in a roll.
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch, especially at a wedding or work event.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
